Polar Bear Bones

They say that, in your dreams, a polar bear represents a reawakening…. And there; In sight; With the full moonlight off white in the night; Reflecting a scene of extrasolar plight…. Atop a very tall dirt pillar; a plateau; Was a dead, more than half rotted polar bear lying on its back— Skeleton totally exposed…. Partly decomposed; Half white/ Half hacked— Face half on like the matter of fact. Emptily gazing at the stars. I looked at the bear; Then leapt off the plateau soaring into that night. That curious night. So clear— and concise! So wildly, peacefully, full of advice. So scary So lonely So nice. At least I can fly in my dreams.
