Bear Seasons
Bear sleeps through winter
dreaming of questions
only summer may answer.
All those answers
she feeds on in full
summer light:
fresh berries in brambles;
moist slugs under
overturned stones;
sweet honey hanging in combs
will nurture the questions
of next winter’s night.

Can you imagine how hungry they are when they awake? Best not to say Hi! at that time.
