4. Short Story
The Longgrass
The longgrass felt like the longgrass always felt. She spent the whole day lay in it. She walked up through the lanes and the hills past the bushes and the farm where the two black cavall menorquí watched her go and at 4.46am she arrived to the grass waving in the early morn wafts of this day of the earth and summer came upon her as if something epic rolled out across the skies from the gods out there in their galaxies and the longgrass was ingot tinctured and fructuous and trailed out towards the endless vista as if infinite and was it always the same like this in summer going back to the ancients she pondered as she walked among the two foot high sheafs of pampas - cortaderia selloana - the white flowers of the grass bloomed as perfect as nature is and she flopped down and lay back and began a daylong vigil.
An hour, maybe two passed. The sun remained low and fizzycoloured and all the earth hushed. A far off tractor’s low hum broke the silence and moved out of her hearing. Three rabbits lolloped near where she lay whom she did not see. An ambercoated ladybug flipped its heliwinged apparatus out and choppered from a sheaf of pampas to another. Heat shimmered in from the curved globe and she gazed at the blueness of the sky and the scattering of clouds moving sporelike across this horizon.
