Coastline of the peat swamp is obscuring. In addition, the shadow of a lone angler. Water lilies turn purple as the sun is setting. Avoid being stung by sedge and strangler. I'm up to my knees in murky shallow. In addition, the shadow of a lone angler. Trout floated through echoes as a sharp arrow. A crisp unsettle overlaid by blurring sunshine. I'm up to my knees in murky, shallow. Midnight sheep are hollering in the whine. With the lowing of a cow from a distance. A crisp unsettle overlaid by blurring sunshine. Being on the verge of calamity is intense. The space among us and our world. With the lowing of a cow from a distance. The delay has harmed our minuscule pride. Coastline of the peat swamp is obscuring. The space among us and our world. Water lilies turn purple as the sun is setting. Written: October 17, 2021
