Somewhere in the Nineteenth Century A boy is walking a wet field. Flax, larkspur, corn poppies. The year is no matter- always a boy wandering from home, danger laid in the rabbit trap's mouth, the lone man up the road. Trust the field's tendrils. Oxeye daisies, red campion. When the boy reaches the wood, bluebells shiver with his steps. You cannot follow, the warn, lolling their purple tongues.
