“When the field begins to dream, its creatures learn to stand still.”
Beneath the winds where feathers whispered and vanished,
another realm endures — the slow kingdom of soil and patience.
Here dwell the Unnatural Grazers,
beasts who have forgotten the difference
between motion and metamorphosis.
They feed not upon grass but upon the quiet between breaths,
their bodies bending the laws of growth, decay, and return.
Each is a fable of stillness misremembered,
a parable of what happens when nature thinks too long upon itself.
