Spirit Bear Of the West

I slept easy like a child
curled in your arms,
and it was not that no dream
tried to catch me up,
it was not that the monster
who grumbles
and tosses and rustles
under my bed
finally gave up.
It was you
brushing the hair from my face,
whispering soft things
you who let that critter know
that if he dared
to haunt me
he was gonna learn
a life lesson about rattle snake mean
from one Virginia Gentleman,
Lately from Touscon.
