The Spirit of My Brother, Bear.

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

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

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

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

Max Bear 's lost in oblivion
and I'm lost
and then found
here
