Really enjoy the familiar items that pop up here while following the herd — raisins, a coat — feels like it ties into the sense of home also experienced with the beard lichen in a dry climate.

Couldn’t help but think of “Lanny” by Max Porter when mentioning an old man’s beard in the wilderness with Dead Papa Toothwort.

Gah, that's high praise. To be in the same breath as Dead Papa Toothwort is a gift indeed.
