Queen of the Tetons

destiny speaks…

“do not lose track of reality,”

pipe down soundscape,

lights out dark sky,

Queen of the Tetons 

is almost delisted.

two sleuths meet

to reclaim awareness,

grizzly 399 stands up

a prism to humans,

horrible bear bear

Ursus Arctos Horribilis. 

a business. a gaze. a charm.

of storytelling birds,

genetically link subspecies

to First Nations languages 

instead of managed by geography,

bruin speak. sign. cup the ears.

follow the healer bear dance 

to bitter root, flat cedar, and sage.

strength in balance, Misabe Mukwa, 

time to hunt. 

together, on the same extant page.
