Bear dreams

I do not know what it might mean that my husband and I both have dreams of bears.  Black bears and polar bears and grizzly bears.  This is the time of year the black bears come out of hibernation.  It begs the question about the polar bear constitution... do they hibernate?  If so, where?  But these are dream bears.  For whatever reason they want our spot in bed.  For whatever reason, they come down the choir loft stairs.  For whatever reason, we shove them out the door.  Bears.

This is the time

The bears wake up.

We have both had dreams

Of bears.

They growl and push us

Out of bed.

They lumber down

From the choir loft.

We have shoved them

Out the door,

Called in game wardens

To tell them

To leave.

Bear dreams.

This is not just the time

Everything greens again.

It seems this is also the time

The bears wake up.
