A half sunflower seed shell appears as a carved-out canoe.
A platform of fallen bark shards accompanied by curling and broken twigs as sturdy as old fallen logs.
The soil, so solid from above, is strewn with composite pieces, glittering jewels, colored, clear, dark, and stacked deep.
Stray autumn milkweed fluff tucks in under the creamy yellow petal of a spring crocus.
The lilliputian delights of the soil become visible when a photograph is repurposed as a computer background.
