What this project is about.
This one is from Book 9.
How long it took to read this (aloud): 5 mins 17s
What it’s “about”: A flower picking goes tragically wrong….
Words I didn’t know: none
Quotable quotes:
To make the baby smile, she plucked the lotus
(I being with her stooped to do the same)
Then in her hand I saw blood drip from petals,
The torn stalk shake as if possessed by terror.
And
Then as she turned to run, her feet were caught,
Held into earth and grass, and as she swayed,
Only her arms and shoulders were swung free.
Rough bark crept up her legs, her thighs,
And as she felt it creep, she tore her hair,
Only to find her fingers full of leaves.
