Learning to Live as Earth


      by Janice Reisewitz Anderson

      Why must I stand bound--
      a rough mound of earth
      darkened by shadows cast down
      from clouds spun of weightless dew? Yet

      do they ask why they must be blown--
      swirling in mindless vapors,
      never to feel the roots of grasses,
      never to know the rabbit's night breathings?
