5.7.2024 II

the bear finds me
lost in the woods
she invites me to her home
feeds me berries and honey
and makes me a bed of soft moss

he finds me
lost in the woods
he invites me to hold still
feeds me dirt and blood
and takes me on a bed of pine needles

in the morning the bear
leads me out of the woods
she shows me things
she finds beautiful
we part ways, and i will never forget her

in the morning he
drags me further into the woods
he covers me with leaves and branches
tells me i was just too beautiful
we part ways, and i will be forgotten
