On Becoming by Kristina WoodhillA wonderment
The blue and red bear
Sculpted
Side by side
By its smoothly glazed
Smaller off spring
Crimson heads and shoulders
Gradiantly flowing into
Torsos and bulk of deepest blue
I had never seen a blue and red bear
And yet
It was there
Some mind's eye
Perceiving
Something I had not imagined
It bade me stare
This undecided bear
I thought
How hot then cold
How odd yet bold
Either nor
Neither or
Quite settled
In its enduring
Dichotomy
