Bigfoot Thinks
When he is quite still
and the sun rises at the left,
falling on the right.
At night, driving, dark humps
by the road; live oaks and towns
built outside the light.
Still not convinced, debating
politics with a wildflower,
with crows in flight.
Beyond sundown,
beyond timber,
mostly out of sight.

I think the third and fourth stanzas are particularly strong.
