In Autumn, we do the digging in our garden. We find bones of the previous generations, which shrank like a sweater in the wash. We use them for creating sophisticated necklaces for trees and flowers. Earthworms are jealous. Creeping, they try to gain something. Then, disconsolate, they depart deep underground, towards the Jurassic strata. Their slimy creep inside the Earth crust arouses hardly noticeable tectonic tremors, which cause the tree branches to move bashfully.
Poorly attached leaves fall to the ground. We rake them, count them, and segregate them into those reusable and those non-reusable. We pin the former ones again to the branches at a regular spacing. We impale the latter ones on long sticks and roast them on a tyre campfire.
