County Recreational Preserve and Glass Field

...then we went out there to check
on whether or not I already walked 5 mile
trails are mown, not asphalt
black butterflies by circles peeling
burnt shoulders even the tops of my feet
barefoot
muddy stream, fallen juiced
indigo blackberries and inky juice
the confields practically glow
it's an horizon of emerald/gold deliciousness
my soles were stained
cracked, even freshly paved, bicycle trails
the prarie, restored
joggers find our terrain and trails especially attractive
wedding in the botanical garden
pebble in most sandal materials are perfectly
at home, in our lowland woods shadowed
dappled and sweating horsefly season
