In the forest deep

In the forest deep (Indian Pipes), by Mary Stebbins Taitt.

Not all efforts please me, but I decided to post this anyway while I
consider what I'd have preferred.

I know what you mean ... and this is something of a curious, manipulated layering. What are indian pipes? A flower? Or, the actual smokum thingys sticked in the ground? :)

They are a flower, one that has no chlorophyll. I'm not happy with this, but I am out of time to "play" right now.

I am so glad you like it, Laura--it resonated for me but I couldn;'t quite get what I wanted.
