bEAR
//Alicia Cohen


Here to return.





from bEAR, pg 9:

field for the dead I feel for the dead
in the dark
black ink-ed eye pupil

Studied:

Before night fell
inside of the second day

great storms ignited
without eyes

slowly slowly and quick
they lit with

sun
seeing double here

hear my hand
listening to organs



hark the herald
heart lung liver

that which is/ made to sound
unseen and unsightly

for tempering dear rage
for tyme heals first flower by rot

from bEAR, pg 70:

uum,

my father poisoned fish and
my mother laughed and baked it
I am my parents'
child shaking

shaking I tell you
head aching from their ghost
factory stench
I weep at the river edge

and

I miss my parents
like a dream
a primordial sea lit by
lightning

before factories washing at the river
edge
