Sequoia, By Leonard Nathan
In the middle of the ancient woods
leaves browse on the sun like gods,
roots tongue the dark below--
who needs words? I find myself
debating silence, and losing again.
From “Wild Song: Poems of the Natural World,” edited by John Daniel (University of Georgia Press: 130 pp., $14.95)
