D.s. & Durga Wild Bergamot Weeds Sing Citrus-speak In Spring By The Cool Cool Water Of Great Lake Superior

I was walking upstream in wellies in a brook somewhere up north. Cold water rushed from the lake downstream through the woods. I came across little island worlds in the brook—pristine, covered in plants fed by fresh water. Gnarled roots of trees intertwined with rocks and mosses to create a landscape like the those enticing commercials for action figures in the 80s (but I digress).

A stand of wild plants grew in spots where the sun broke through the canopy.
