Ladysthumb, Göteborg, Dec 8th, 2000

The rotting stalks
were fully recognizable
by the prominent nodes where leaves used to be
and by the remnants of the flower spikes
and grew in a patch where I had seen them when green

now slimy and smelling rank...
The orange peel by the front of the house
I picked up for contrast

Persicaria maculosa
Åkerpilört i september, i juni och i augusti
