I Eat Bear Like This

I eat bear like this, I eat bear like this, raw form gnashed into molar paste, sinew stripped of blood, sinew stripped of blood- shot iris contracting as wave, contracting as schism. I eat bear like this, like this, like the rawness of a wound can peel paint from signs, “Only trust the written word!” The letters spell reprieve from culpability, from the maw of the martyr eating sacks of eggs.

I eat bear like the end is stones in a world of stream,

I eat bear like the tailor can mend without a seam,

I eat bear like gangrene ghosts can pierce the septic night,

I eat bear like stained-glass mind is only solid light—

The dim draws in, palm becomes fist,
