Mother Bear


What Drives the Kremlin's Syria Policy
The Moscow Times, 5 July 2012

Bear hunkers down,
an unlit bonfire of firs
in a bleak-forest dell
at the arse end of town
beyond IKEA and PC World,

upon a clutch
of sterile eggs, foiled,
cold and seeping, mulching out
into the bloodstained ground.

Bear dares not move;
while the gorged earth blushes
about her stand, she broods
that the geese will come home
one day still to roost.

(c) 2012 Slush Poet
