visitation
nom i was
in the garden
with onion tator and celery
when i saw the bear crossing the creek

by the dogwood
red willow thicket
where the elderberries cluster

how it stood with
round ears pointed
listening to the
people and the dogs
the orchard shouting !bear!

in an breathless second
it disappeared
hiding off behind
shadowed breaking
twigs the lichen
painted rock wall grove
