Bewilder

Bewilder

     how we're drawn to
innaturale—god born man
Jacob who wrestles Gabe

a plant who becomes man
     like Green Giant
          or the Green Man

butterflies who can shift
     to fairies     or birds
who lay eggs that hatch

as sprites      and seals
     who can strip skins
reform as girls who marry

and mother women whose
moods seem less chaotic
than nymphs or naiads
