"The Nature Look"
Written By
Bruce Ario
The bend of the willow tree is very erotic
Especially in the wind as today
I am only a substitute
Or, skipping over the ice on skates
A boy with dreams.
Opposed to grasping,
Where you can hear the song
Birds calling me?
But from my window
I am a foreigner anxious over deportation.
