Bear Woman

Bear Woman

The grizzly terrified us at first--
pacing the driveway with her three cubs,
battering at our front door.
She terrifies you now;
you can see her in my eyes.

So I've trained her as Gypsies do:
I beat a tambourine,
force her to walk on hot embers:

She rises,
lifts one hind foot,
then the other.

She dances to my tambourine.
