tiny green trillium trefoil tiny pied trout lily leaves tiny frondsy dutchman’s britches tiny spring beauties already in blossom other leaves and shoots unidentifiable I’m sorry to be stepping on you here in the woods you wee ones are so many amid the crunchy drifts of leaves the fat plush bluebells are easy to avoid some already blooming makes me wonder though what else where else who else I’ve been stepping on because I’m not bothering to look to think to be aware
