bright phoebus trails a hand in the brush to feel the flowers catch and snag between slender fingers; fields of grass wrap themselves over the rounded hills; violets stretch in the hot sun; the enormous oak tree behind reaches out and skims the surface of the heavens; the wasps make nest in its branches, darting out and around the occasional plummeting acorn; the air ripples with the sweetness of hyacinths; the cypresses line the horizon, a herd of deer graze in their shadows; the man [who is not a man] rests against the trunk, sighing, eyeing the budding laurel tree that shivers in the warm breeze; the Cyrean hives hum pleasantly; twin calves plod towards the man [who is not a man], and a palm is reached out to caress their young heads; everything is sweet; everything is lush; everything is warm.
