This poem also runs at the end of the video (best viewed small)

Wild in the Dry Grass

in wide brim hats
they rise from the
crest of earth 
meet discreetly
cousins in white coats
like lovers
man & woman
the soil, a container 
to look briefly into
as if they had eyes
as if they had lips
to share under umbrella or table


before
the blue heat of day
curls them into the soft crest

from which they came
