New arrival here in central #Arkansas: These are #bluets of some kind, either members of genus /#Houstonia/ or /#Hedyotis/. I can't be sure.
Due to one of those common #taxonomy shuffles, a lot of plants formerly in the latter genus were spun to create the former.
AI thinks this is /Houstonia pusilla/ the Tiny Bluet. I am not so sure.
Either way, they are very very small, and members of the #coffee family (#Rubiaceae).
My initial response was that Bluets is utterly beautiful, that I haven't been this smitten with a poetic piece for years. Near the end I was just tired & happy to be done. Prose poem, memoir, blue love, some fucking (sic). Short numbered pieces a flowing river of words, one narrative.

An exquisite damselfly, the Boreal Bluet (Enallagma boreale), along the Meewasin. The electric blue colouring is unmistakable.
