Polar bear
Sapped
Dreary
Thin
Visible world falling apart
Real time tragedy
Climate change shackles to fasten him to numbing hunger
Ragged white fir coat growling through its misery
A broken grimness in gutted nature
No ice drift of salvation
Till the last polar bear dies in a smoke chain of complacency
National Geographic special
This too passes into history
Toxic forgetfulness
like a channel flicked
And every screen's back to normal.
