\nNot as funny as klaw;
\nSerious, to be staring at the business end of a claw:
\nall kinds of cats:
\nTigers, tygers, lions, ocelots,
\npussycats in the early morning;
\nall kinds of desperation:
\nmovie murderers from hell,
\nspelunkers, miners,
\nearthquake victims,
\nrape victims,
\npioneers, rivals, catfighters,
\ncadavers, ghouls, nightmares . . .<\/a><\/p>\n
\nSavour it; festoon it with spittle;
\nUse it in a song, in a poem,
\nFeel the angst it carries
\nLike a hacked, bloodstained sword
\nDragged from battle to battle
\nFrom gladiation back to vagina;
\nProud basis for heraldry.<\/p>\n
\ndrag them over the chalkboard.
\nSing to me of claws
\nguttural, direct;<\/p>\n
\nfall back on it,
\ncelebrate,
\nrepudiate,
\neviscerate,
\n\u2014 claw!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
