		untitled (***buried in the fur of a polar she-bear)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		buried in the fur of a polar she-bear
		I teach the stars
		love

		I explain to the stars
		that love is a truth
		which results
		at the end of every equation

		entangled in bear fur
		I whisper

		and the stars
		come close

		they confirm

		jealous
		I cover up the beauty of your mouth
