Text Any textual data included in the document Once I saw a dead cub floating near shore, free of fur but still flesh, a transparent apparition. I couldn’t tell if she fell, spooked, or wounded first, she slid. Where else can they go? (Where, for that matter, can any of us?) In a speedboat’s wake the ghost cub rose and fell, upright in a way, like a small child crawling on her hands and knees in supplication or (vain) escape. We fed mouse-click fodder to the gods, slept like sugar ants sticky on the counter, wandered alone, tender flesh, and more than once succumbed, gladly. Let them in! (I’m scared.) My neighbors say no.

Or I should say, smoldering. Bear bait, the ranger told me. Don’t you know? (This is not ours!) . . . a hard pew, a hand recorder, an agenda, Ecclesiastes, maybe or Acts, an organ velvet-draped beneath the Power Point —or else a torn warning from a trailhead. How rarely, now, we drop to our knees: to scrub the floor with a dirty sponge, to wrap heat tape on pipes in the crawl space, to try (vainly) to protect what’s ours. (None of it is ours!)

When the wake rolled smooth, the cub tipped from sight.
