The young black bear was walking
walking down the road his back was turned
receding in the forest of my memories and dreams.
He’s gone to meet the rabbits
I saw last night, I was thinking
and remembered how my glance had been
distracted by the lily’s orange gleam.
slight edit to the second stanza:
He’s gone to meet the rabbits
I saw yesterday, I thought, and I
remembered how my glance had been
distracted by the lily’s orange gleam.
