One place understood helps us understand all places better.

Eudora Welty

Anyone's guess

Into the grass
was a deeply
worn path

Barren ground
began from the gate
into the pasture

But then,
small blades
of grass
trespassed

And slowly
over distance,
several heights
of a man

The path blended
into pasture grass
and which way
a man might have gone
was anyone's guess.
