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.
