Bear/Bare

This, a heavy thing   
This, an empty thing
Grizzly animal
All its parts exposed
Polar, black, or brown Bones and hands and feet
Yield fruit, a hug
Bawdy body shame
Market down to skin 
Down to nothing left
Suffer long, behave 
Naked flesh, once held
This, to hold a grudge This, to utter love
       
Jon Davies
