the bears are out, we say a warning for all to be more aware secure trash cans, and children when they lumber from dens groggy and hungry do they grunt out their own short warnings? do they have a go-to saying about humans? perhaps: "careful, Everything Destroyers are still here" or: "watch yourself, Fear Creatures are out there" what do they say what do the bears say about us when they awake hibernation over months melting like their fat layers and we are still the same as when they crawled into their dens

bellies full of berries and salmon
