Fresh when we land, I being in a state of collapse (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
new-laid
'in a state of collapse' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'fresh when we land i' is the wordplay.
'we land i' can be anagrammed to 'NEW-LAID'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for new-laid that I've seen is " Fresh (of eggs)".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
