ursa minor

the smallest nose
nuzzles me gently: ursa
minor, littlest bear you are
written in the stars you are
my magnetic north you are
the only place i can stand to be
in all my polar wanderings
all the loveless nights and
carelessnesses
bigger bears- you are the only one
who can melt my lonely
little heart, you are the only one
with your small warm nose
and wise old eyes, who knows
all the secrets of the stars
the wind and the trees.
