sna poems #143: wedde creek savanna

wedde creek savanna is a black oak savanna, a formerly characteristic habitat in southern wisconsin. open-grown black oaks, jack pines, so many oaklings, and lichen everywhere underfoot!

a good evening walk, tho’ so many ticks. first id of pixie cup lichen, lyreleaf rockcress, and sundial lupine!

a.

marquette westering

whip-poor-will

last night’s memory

b.

red-tipped pixie cup

stretches out

under oaken shade
