Postcard
… or under these pine trees
planted to the shape
of a bear, acres of brown bear
bear fur like needles
as though beauty
were a bundle of bones
to be rearranged
and blown through
to stand up now
on its newborn strength
and walk towards
us both, the past reiterated
and shed in fur
candles of fur growing
in fibonacci shoots
the birds harmonised
against the bear trees’ growl
a golden ratio
of present tense, to be now
and nowhere else …
