Winter Slumber
Somewhere this winter
a bear is growling,
crystal beads of sweat
drip down its thick fur.
Nothing is there
beyond the dark den,
nothing to growl at
except, perhaps, the dream
of some bright fish
leaving an imprint,
leaping over clear rapids,
from a gene pool
comprised of generations
jumping gallantly
into his hibernating jaws.
