The polar bear was Too hundred yards away
The hunter knew he had hit it
No one could miss that birst of red
Against that yellow sun over the space of snow
Even blindness could measure the impact
He had got down on one knee
And he had aimed the barrel
Putting it to the center
He bet the bullit would somewhere enter
The living white
To count on the head or heart
Might be a mistake
Why take chances
It would be like being out of matches
And he froze and squeezed the man made might
The sight overwhelmed
But the bear still charged
He was huge on a bounding nervious system
And fear in his finger like a piston
The man pumped his magnum like a storm
The bullit had crushed the temple
The man felt it in his genital
But the rush was to much
Such power spitting streams
As if the bears veins were ment for the air
To tear apart another artery
Would bring a battery of men against him
But about the whiskey bar
The bear wouldn't let him see that far
Through his massiveness spreading wider
Ending - And when it fell; the round hole
between it's eyes was still
SPEAKing
