A close reading of the poem 'tropisches Knabenkraut, wild, im Schnabel' demonstrates how interspecies encounters lead to the coming together of asynchronous Umwelten. This raises complex questions about temporality, in relation to language, writing and the human lifespan, Mayröcker's own 'late style' and the notion of a specific lateness present in Anthropocene theory.
