+Frozen was this place.
+Upon it placed a placid slate
+of ice.  Its might slighted
+only by the wooden flame's reach.
+Heat-stained beech
+sunken in a pool. Stone breached.
+Its presence slowly traced.
+Flickers glowed, and fore-elements effaced.
+
+A bear born in such barren land,
+fur matted under the harsh cold,
+carried further on by
+the wailing wind's sail.
+This creature comprehends
+from deep within.
+Ancestral knots never untied,
+pulled ever tighter and petrified.
+
+Fur flakked with mud, dirty 
+and damp, absorbs the savory 
+smoke to a saturated choke
+and evokes streams
+of warm steam stacks to
+rise enveloped in empty howls.
+They dance intertwined
+whispering up unto the divine.
+
+In between yawns and
+howls he gnaws at his prey.
+Raw flesh that lends an ache
+to his jaw bone,
+strained near break. All
+to sustain another hunt 
+between long, lonesome flights 
+along the arctic plain by night.
