Bessie Dreaming Bear

By  Marnie Walsh

we all went to town one day
went to a store
bought you new shoes
red   high heels
aint seen you since

Well, the title talks about a dream and a bear, my first thought on reading that was actually gummy bears. But then you read the poem and it’s talking about getting shoes??? Ok, so, I think that maybe this Marnie Walsh had a really weird dream where they were walking to town and bought a bear heels, but upon waking up, Walsh never dreamed about the bear again. I don’t know how else to make of it besides the person wearing heels was murdered.
