The Other Natural

No ticket-taker could mistake
The telling way her hard heels clicked against the concrete
As she passed through the gate
And disappeared beneath the stands.
Nor could the tunnel's long, dark length
Prevent their minds a city lurk
With knowing how her light, quick step
So must have pushed her wholesome shape
Against her simple, cotton print.
But when her silhouette emerged
Into that light we call a field
Precisely as a roar went up
As though the hand of God had turned
Some giant dial,
The volume overwhelmed their words.
