Common Avens, Göteborg, December 27th, 2001

Front scanned immediately, back after the surface was dry.

Geum urbanum Nejlikrot i februari, i mars, i juni och i augusti Eva Ekeblad, 2001

Armed with a fork I went
to pay my rent
and a visit to the Avens

I know exactly where it is

buried in the sugary snow,
feathery light and easily scattered by forky scratching

I got my sample
and forked back a spatter
of downy flakes to tuck the Avens under its winter duvet again
