BENEATH MOSS THEY find the False Chanterelle. Here, he says with pride. Yes, she says. They leave fairy rings, their tramping about. Apples fall. And leaves. They still go home together, intentions seemingly still the same. The warmth that consumes you, rising up inside you, when you’re standing in the kitchen and have been outdoors the whole day. The feeling of hunger, absorbed in the steam of mushrooms, butter and cream, a nausea and satiety of a kind that has nothing to do with either food or no food, but with expectation and having walked through woodland, that peculiar kind of concentration so reminiscent of reading: attentiveness, and its exact opposite. To command large areas of forest floor, survey the ground as though it were soup to be skimmed of impurities; to find the mushrooms that are there. Searching for something in particular without knowing exactly what. Proceeding toward a place that exists only as movement and direction.
