Winter seems long right now. The snow is falling hard and fast on top of ice and frozen snow from last week. There is a frigid wind. It's a good time to be in inside physically and metaphorically and dream of the spring bulbs which will appear (they miraculously always do), warm summer evenings (yes they will come) and dancing with bears.
Dance with a Bear
She was accustomed to eating alone
A simple supper
and a glass of Gamay
One warm summer night
she slipped into her party dress
opened wide
the doors to the woods
and let her mind wander
into the forest
and dance between the trees
