Donkey
“They are highly intelligent creatures, sociable and calm, capable of independent thinking and decision making.”
— The Donkey Sanctuary
DONKEY
Donkey Time
It is true that long gray ears
and slow hitches of sound
are a donkey’s trademark.
Some say they are stubborn,
obstinate, stolid. If you ask me
this is more of their singular grace.
Donkeys are everything lucid and liquid
in their own dark-eyed meter of time.
