here
in the spirit of the bottle 
my brother Bear dances
in the energy of
cleaning of the house
or any mundane thing
Bear is celebrating
or crying in the corner
for all our mutual betrayals

as the animals wander home from the jungle
as the alcohol tangles my thoughts and my relationship
relationships
the spirit of my brother 
Bear goes...
nowhere

we are here
living or dead
fine or damned
you are my sweet sorrow 
crying in the corner for our mutual betrayals

drunk in the back garden
with the sunlight streaming
the spirit of my brother sings
softly 
slurred

Bear’s lost in oblivion
and I’m lost
and then found
here
