Behind the building, an abandoned playground squatted in a rectangle of dead weeds.

I crouched panting in the dead weeds of the dooryard, unable to do anything for the moment but breathe.

Beneath the drifts, dead weeds pulled at his boots like fingers reaching up from hell.

"Well, obviously, he couldn't have escaped through here," I said as my light discovered cobblestones and dead weeds.

But there was another tall patch of snow-covered dead weeds just ahead.

Outside, dead weeds cover a small field where antelope once played.

All I know is that there were broken columns lying tumbled about, overgrown with dead weeds.

See, here's a feather that was sticking to that dead weed.

The detached garage looks ready to collapse, and dead weeds fill the small backyard.

At the foot of the hill they could see the setter's tail waving above dead weeds.
