Why do you pretend

Poem by

Why do you pretend
to be a teacher?
You are a student.
A student of cocoons,
owl music,
melting snow.
An ancient beginner
in a workshop of ferns
and meadow smells,
learning always
for the first time
to feel your feet
touch the ground,
nostrils twitch,
belly soften,
shameless yet vulnerable
as a larva sleeping
under a stone.
Such lessons require
lifetimes of practice,
of listening,
of gratitude.
Why do you pretend
to be a teacher?
Be a student
of melting snow.

Long Limb, 1998
Andrew Wyeth
