When you bear-hug darkness <br />You do not see bears from bushes <br />And where the earth ends <br />And the dark of the sky begins. <br />Your bicycle balance fails and <br />There is white fear in your bones <br />And you do not see the bear <br />Only the whiteness of its teeth.<br /><br />Jagannath rao Adukuri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bear-3/
