A Banded Woolly Bear

A Banded Woolly Bear

Quiet road.
Autumn sun,
Parting leaves;
Warm light pools.

An earnest Woolly Bear
Crossing, pool to pool,
Urgently cautious,
Towards some important thing!

No bird notices, no car yet,
No winter yet.
Just an earnest Wooly Bear
Alone, towards something important.

What importance I cannot know,
On the silent road, for now.
Looking down, I wish the Woolly Bear well,
And hurry on.
