The 2 of hu?
P.S. I have a Swiss oncle, whose father (my step-great-uncle, m.h.s.r.i.p.) spoke Swiss. Very guttural, but not as harsh as Allemagne. Ach! those Boche, ma fois!

Why this is religious propaganda!
 
"Why this is religious propaganda!"

Well, there was the HRE, I 'spose, that modern-day Switzerland was a part of. Those Euro types, including the Franks, got pretty heavily into that religion thing.

The smoke is incense, that's why
 
Is a bear, at the stand, not worth two near a bush?
Is the bush still smouldering?
(I'd be looking for the little guy in a big bear suit)

Poems are often metaphorical. Perhaps if you read it as a poem and again.
But then my outrage was in jest.

Bear

"That I am naked, carrying
desires thought better left unborn…
that unadorned and suffering
the almost-having-sated thorn,

I crave the Maple’s literal
rough leaning rub and know not seem.
First snow this cub’s near mineral
and lies to keep, earth chants to dream.

Debark the birch’s flecked blank sheets.
Nor lure the upstream fish but cuff
him to the bank. Even the suite
of bees reasoning is enough."

I enjoyed that. Thanks

Now your getting serious! Good on ya! (a few syllables from being Haiku, no less)

Great Horned Owl

"My still, one-thousand-night-long watch
proves our view’s not outward but in.
Halos of birches and the splotch
of light each rustle makes begin

the haunting. Even ghosts of men
traipse an oddly familiar trail
through the copse. If that’s all me, then,
those strangers and prey, must I, frail,

reserve my talons for the perch?
No. Lowering myself onto air
I slip your lonely double search
to course sensation’s thoroughfare."

My syllable count is 5, 7, 5. Do you use a different one ? I don't know of any other,

Well, I can add an accent to winged and get two out of it.
But

slides
down
a
shaft
of
moon
less
air

I keep getting 8 on.
But this is nitpicking. I really liked it. If I'd thought it was supposed to be Haiku I probably would have assumed the accent and never mentioned the 8.
