The bear and Christ seek the same
shredding of the ego.
The bear is Christ under a different name.
(Neither has a name, Christ
means anointed, a title, Jesus
an afterterm. He should go by son to track
an unnamed father ghosted in holiness.)
To whom shall I pray for poetic help
a nameless bear, an unnamed God
when both desire the same—
to shred the ego.
I can’t cast down my own idol,
a fearing deadful sacrifice.
Death comes on Christ bear’s pawprints
hallowed claws of blooded fur and flesh.
