Elegy for Bear #56

Ursula major,
Queen of Minnesotan woods,
drowsy from the weight
of age and honey-drenched dreams,
you lie down in sun-dappled grass

sheltered by blue pines.
Huron nation calls you wise,
The Zuni, healer.
Stars guide your way through big skies.
The Great Spirit has called you home

—Kristine Doll/2013
