This.

Shishkin, Backwoods, 1875


Dixon Direction

Directions are simple here.
Geese know where to go and eagles fly.
Yet sometimes you get lost on wrong roads.

Then

when you come to school,
you seek from this high window
and find living river, red willow,
white aspen, old juniper and pine.

This is you.

And bright, clay cliffs fix the stars.


- Victor A. Charlo
