This is the first draft of my poem "The Bear." |
The Bear Henry, the blue hair My sweet, the bear These needs, the saltine for lack of Gone the blue hair and the bear This key, the map and pen Just we, the part we play in design Upon us, we The fountain in the place Departed here It’s me, the trollop and the whore Don’t watch If he’s in Montana If he’s in Peru On the mountain He is the bold one Sword of the patriot he sought The mountain is, I see, furious Dance the verse, dance the ballad Dance the morbid turn On the mountain of I am It, she says, what is it – the other violent bend in me The other dead – what but violent I am Bend in love Condescend mine and me Our nest has been Not more to him I am Goodbye Took them away She knows where we are in the suite of the others Kill, why not me He says there are others At least I dance alone Keep listening through me Dance with me not the others Is it close to being Damned he is To come to me Escalate sweetly Take them, my keys I try and try to please Appease the others with whom he’s been He ate them to mind Hope he wanted me to weigh And beyond the mouth dies my mind Beyond all of me I fear and the other I need too |
