Bears' Mambo
by Karyn Indursky
Outside in the wilderness
bears roar with hunger
not for food, but for dancing.
Beneath the royal purple twilight
of purring kitchens rubbing
against pant and stocking legs,
bears switch partners
like chickens square dancing
one more time for bedtime fun.
Preceding going to feather pillow
comfort, these dancing machines
dance naked as beautiful
peacocks for making lovely
wilderness poetry.
