Musk Mallow, Göteborg, December 6th, 2002

Under the aegis of Anna Nicole
the not-so New Lawn in a frosting of snow

where, oh where
are the S-weeds of yesteryear?


Corn Cockle, Cow Basil
Wild Radish, Corn Marigold,
Baby's Breath, Dame's Violet
Tall Verbena, Thorn Apple
Spider Flower, Pumpkin
Fiddleneck, Coreopsis
and Clasping Pepperwort...


Malva moschata
Myskmalva i augusti, i september,
i februari och i juli

Eva Ekeblad, 2002
    

  

Gone are all the ephemerals
with the Musk Mallow lingering last
as the New Lawn S-weeds settle
into the stability of Creeping Buttercups et al.
