Wilderness
Lorine Niedecker![A purple and grey poster features a poem titled Wilderness, by Lorine Niedecker.](https://poetrysociety.org/assets/poetry-in-motion/Lorine-Niedecker-Poetry-in-Motion-LA.jpg)
You are the man
You are my other country
and I find it hard going
You are the prickly pear
You are the sudden violent storm
the torrent to raise the river
to float the wounded doe
