A tiny spring that is almost always at least damp.
The concrete marker is a property marker. Gretchen bought the small tract beyond it.

A very tiny spring or seep.
Brown Dog thinks it’s a puddle, but it never goes dry.
Next to it is a sycamore tree.
Gretchen likes sycamores.

Pictures by Gretchen Quarterman, Lowndes County, Georgia, 28 February 2010.
Though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure;
And spring comes green again to trees and grasses
Where petals have been shed like tears
And lonely birds have sung their grief.
…After the war-fires of three months,
One message from home is worth a ton of gold.
…I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thin
To hold the hairpins any more.—A Spring View, Tu Fu (c. 750), trans. Witter Bynner
