The last Polar Bear and the last Wolf
Atrophied icons of the Arctic
Stepped aboard the Midnight Ice Floe Express
Heading South… towards eternity
The unrelenting Sun burning holes
In sparse and matted fur
They lay side by side, their breathing belabored
And saw, as they perished in unison
An elderly woman, her spectacles reflecting
The dawning of a new day
Ooh’s and ah’s of her entourage
Echoing upon now dead ears
As she offered paying customers
A glimpse of the future
From the fortress-like Isle … of Ubetcha
