Out Like a Lamb

Black Bear

Black bear back there,
back behind the bush. Where?

Black in nature, black stare
Back to nature's black lair

Bare, in a wood
would you know
in the snow
past the time for hibernation

There, on the cam
she's a ham
and her cubs
coming quick to the extinction

Rock-a-bye, kill-a-bear
Back to future's black stare

Hack here, hack there
Black bear bless-ed unaware.
