Black Bear in a Paw Trap

rabbit skull with a broken jaw
did you run to the wolves or did they
smell you out

can i wrap you in cloth
can i bury you inside my box spring 
can i ask you a question
about where your soul went

buried bull with bruised knee
did you love where you landed or
decide fate with your fall

can i stitch you a new sinew
can i massage your muscle memory
can we walk backwords
with broken feet

black bear in a paw trap
did you catch your own leg or 
let your guard down as i ran

can i answer that
can i come back
come back to where my soul has been
