Regret
by Michael R. Burch

Regret,
a bitter
ache to bear . . .

once starlight
languished
in your hair . . .

a shining there
as brief
as rare.

Regret . . .
a pain
I chose to bear . . .

unleash
the torrent
of your hair . . .

and show me
once again—
how rare.

Lonely, lost and freezing
Desolate and bare
How sad it is to be
A lonely polar bear

My friends all left me long ago
The seals all swam away
And every night I wonder
If today will be the day

The day that I too,
am swept up by the sea
Like all of those other bears
who wandered before me

When your genesis is our Armageddon
Your victories burden is ours to bear
Oh, how sad it is to be
A lonely polar bear

the wolf howls
the bear growls
the man silently kills

made honey for bunny.
isnt she such a bee?

i said, to the man
who eats honey like a bear.
