Reduction

The hill is in the trees.

Rain has thinned the crowns so we can see it.

Shade lies covered on the ground.

Migrating birds arrive in waves, seen a day or two and gone again. Robins, white-throated sparrows, their offspring with them.

Hear the wind's purer song.

The year gets down to basics.
