Buttered limbs

Today, I go into the wilderness,

no armor or weapons.

Face monsters and wild beasts.

I will not resist their hunger

their gnashing and tearing

their ravenous devouring.

Should I shower first,

butter my limbs,

flavor skin with spices,

sprinkle oregano in my hair?

Today, I go into the wilderness,

look for me in scat along the trail
