Field guide No. 594
Summer meadow beneath the duvet
Five more minutes of June.
In a bedroom with snow outside the window, a lifted duvet reveals a sunlit summer meadow of daisies and grass where the mattress should be. Getting up is not being considered.
Field noteA whole sunlit meadow, hills and all, cannot lie under one duvet. This one does, with snow outside.
