Alone With a Bear vs. Alone With a Man
Some things are
worse than death,
thoughts of living with
assault always on you,
a film you can’t wash off.
No one can say you wanted
the bear to maul you. And
even when men are posed the question
they want qualifiers first
because they know, they know
the forest keeps its secrets.
