Polar Bear

















Splendid,
the polar bear
blending in
until the time is right
quick movements
the job is done
food for the family
then into a walking
sleep
never withdrawing from the hunt
always ready
for the next opportunity to eat
seals, fishes, plant mosses and garbage
an opportunistic feeder
who will do whatever is needed
for the family to survive
stalking real and imaginary prey
keeping cubs safe
sacrificing own desires
on the arctic snow...
the polar bear.
