Grizzzzzz
Awakened early, he grumps along his trail,
the enforced sleep grogifing his mind
while breezes waft almost familiar scents.
Claws, long and sharp, disembowels a log;
where grubs wiggle and shine in the thin sun
and are delicately plucked one by one.
.
Snuffling through the leafless brush
Overturning stones, a living vacuum cleaner.
Tiered, he seeks respite from his hunger
drinking gallons of water then rests
until hunger again gnaws him to his feet.
He yearns for remembered fat salmon.
the enforced sleep grogifing his mind
while breezes waft almost familiar scents.
Claws, long and sharp, disembowels a log;
where grubs wiggle and shine in the thin sun
and are delicately plucked one by one.
.
Snuffling through the leafless brush
Overturning stones, a living vacuum cleaner.
Tiered, he seeks respite from his hunger
drinking gallons of water then rests
until hunger again gnaws him to his feet.
He yearns for remembered fat salmon.
