For Dan Bigley

Two Ghosts of the Kenai

For Dan Bigley

in a flash
the world gone black

the culprit
a brown blur of brawn

the bear's eyes
the last your own
will ever see

all hope
would seem lost
in the darkness

and yet you
become the sun
and show us all
how to see

beyond our own
bears




[Day  7 of my poem a day marathon for National Poetry Month. Check out Dan Bigley's new book Beyond the Bear .]
