Midrange Road Kill

The skull can call winter
a naked eye, sightless and shot.
What I ate, I caught
with the moon lost to the woods.
The white bones
of wolves can kill,
by eating the advice
of a bird.


From pages 50-51 of The Raw and the Cooked: Adventures of a Roving Gourmand by Jim Harrison (Grove Press, 2001).
