Bigfoot

You are the wild

Untamed

Uncivilized

Personified

You are a green man

With Long black hair

A dancing satyr

On huge clumsy feet

Impressions

In the mud

In the mind

Smell

Seeping

Creeping through the ages

Touching

The bestial

In humanity

Jungian

You exist

In two worlds

One of trees

Tangled vegetation

One of living grey

Mired

In the mind

Traveler

Through time

And place

Haunting

The spaces

In between

Sasquatch

Skunk ape

Missing link

What do you think?

 What do you think

Of this

Human race

And its trace

Etched

In your world

That we poison

And choke

Cut

And bleed

Raze the woods

To pave a road

Pull down

Mountains

With greedy

Machines

And erect

Artificial

Wal-Mart hills

A ridge of

Strip malls

Shopping carts

Herded

Like deer

In metal stalls

Your call

Silent

Laconic

Mountain giant

Watch

As we

Destroy

That which

We can

So run and

Hide

Far away

In memory

In folk tale

Carved

In totem poles

And spoken of

With indigenous tongues

But don’t live

Where we can

See you

MoMo

Oh-mah

Bushman

Catch him

If you can

You are a

Scream in the

Night

Stay out of sight

Woods Devil

Prowler in the Forest

Nuk-luk

Wendigo

Where would

You go

So that we

Could not find you?

Skookum

Wookie

Big Elder Brother

Of some other mother

Run for cover

And don’t

Look back.
