Dear Brown Bear

Scott Threlkeld

Push hard against my frozen sled
My excitement grows as affects know
High lining streaks stitch furiously overhead
Potential release and glistening dread
The border lay revealed, an invisible thread
Poor transport wrapped around speed limit again
The journey cut in half by me, you said
Demanding more I gorge on through
Any fuel, of course, will do
My terror begets even more delights
The exquisite loss of mind, quixotic and sublime
All spectrums at once sing brilliant harmony
Shift key slightly, interference shreds the identity
Sliding down my fragmented wave
Dear Brown Bear suspends my rage
Holding me tight by squeezing my thought
She cradles me gently throughout the night
