Bear Paw

[Guest guest]

She drops her bear paw

from the nightsky's wolverine jaws

and a strange creature bleeds into this earth.

Neither one's the hot-blooded creature

it thinks it is except that saying it somehow

makes this mystery appear more understandable.

Like an oven gone cold after hours of cooking,

this night's breathing its own heat by

eating the starlight as fast as it appears

and disappears while streaking across

the infinite sky of this moment

shooting past every distant memory

that manifests between each thought.

Stilled as she distills the essence

of darkness and light in the heart,

a thousand thousand armies

are being defeated

before the cauldron of boiling sperm

spills into this vast womb of forgetfulness

that makes friend and enemy

battle the shadow

of theirself.

No one conquers or is conquered ever.

The quest for any conquest

or acceptance of defeat is over

before these words are read

as they swirl away across the

river's water body

they're written on.
