Naturally
By Dominique Jackson
wouldn’t you much rather
learn from the
wrens, how to sing, what to
sing, when to sing?
wouldn’t you care to
take lessons from
fog on proper
misdirection?
wouldn’t it be just
the loveliest time
if chrysanthemums taught
us their glow?
wouldn’t you sell your
senses to lie beneath
the vault, mastering
movement and stillness?
wouldn’t wonder seize
your breath if tides
could guide our
spastic feet?
sit under nature’s
plain instruction, love
her class is always in session
