A calm bear, sedated by the lulling nature of food, excessive within his belly, he can hide away more easily. He is fattened up, layered with furry clothing he’s eaten and fashioned for his form, each pair of bear-like track-pants or layered sweatshirts are perfectly suited to him. I am like this creature but I have swallowed my words, living off the bare minimum, but in reality, I’ve indulged myself, I roll around my cave with obvious glee because my words I am saving, banking up, quietly. And around me, like a chain they’ve grown, wanted links, interwoven with themselves, their own, I am not secured, but I am enclosed, though in a method I am wanting. Then the links become daisy chains, they’re delicate, adorable, agreeable, some children might say the work of the fairies, and while this once-lumbering bear will sleep, I will always wear this fresh crown of linked daisies. My load has been lightened, I’m decorated with white and yellow, and as I enter the bear’s quarters with spare flowers, I tiptoe gently, ever so lightly, I will make him king, for while he temporarily sleeps, when, disgruntled and hungry he will arise, at least he'll have something pleasant to greet him. © 2020 Lauren M.
