Grizzly Man - Rockettothesky

I’ve been watching him for seven days

His hands pale

Knuckles moving beneath the skin

Foetus like

I’ve caught seven foxes

And placed them on the river bank

Each night I give him one

Counting down the days till we are one

And clothe his heart in fur

I sing of arms and the man his

Arms that wake each morning

White-knuckled and that copy claw gestures

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and here I go…

I take him in I take this body whole

So thin like a spine

I thread him on inside of mine

And we are one and we are one

And his is the fur at last I

See his eyes inside my mouth

Even when he sneaks into my bones

Forever unborn

Now finally I am a mother
