Figure 2: Site Configuration for the Girl-Guide | Lindsay Bell Skimming her calves through piano wire grasses, she trades east for training, flounce for clod; and either may be as silly as the reapplication of makeup in the dark, on a date with a blind man. She remains a child given over to posture. This parcel extends as the wind carries it: not far, being rooted; prairie up to her waist, she finds her requirements couched in the soil, a fossil wheel, remains of pot roasts, tools lost but for bones, hatchet, repurposed bluestem, dropseed: ornamental. What a singe can do for plat of survey: redress violations; a salve for jilted hemlines: pants. She's in the style of long and flowing: a river. A historical migration of ground water, historical spill. We expect this property to be visible by windshield, of the sort which writes itself.  read about the author Contributors.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0
