Alligators at Okefenokee Swamp.
When I was fifty I faced
Whales in the wild at Depoe Bay.
What is this fearful fascination I have
With leviathans?
Maybe it's a God thing.
And even though my whole body
Wanted to barf or faint,
I peered around the corner
To glimpse the divine
As long as there was somebody
Holding my hand.
It's good to remember
What it's like
To feel small
And survive.
