A perfect bed I find Hollow, rotten wood mattress Climb up, settle down Perfect for myself Drowsy I congratulate My choice, then asleep Deep hibernation I grow warm, there is much smoke Climbing out of bed I look down upon A pair of two-legs eating A sandwich. They point My bed afire sways Nearby green tree close enough I reach out to it My hollow bed burns There is no time left for me I take the green tree But I fear two-legs I cling to green tree tightly My bed collapses My warm bed so soft Now shattered sparks showering Burning in a heap Two-legs see my fear They back off my, fear no less I come down green tree In snow I run fast Away from two legs from fire I am dead no less Winter will take me Two-legs will go home to bed Feeling sorry yes This poem, written in haiku verse this very morning, commemorates my grief when, in 1969, three miles from the Canadian Border, my partner and I unknowingly built our lunch fire in a big white pine snag. I need not repeat the particulars, which are all in the poem.
