I'm a hunted beast/I'm a newly captured beast/I'm a beast trampled by a beast/I'm a beast trampled by a beast/an era threw me down/squinted/put my foot on my nose/tore/bit/gnawed/gnawed until only my bones were left/even if. The image of "beast" is skillfully replaced in the first four sentences of the poem. Every time it is replaced, it has its own special new symbol, and it is clear and strong to resist to the end. Even if I only have one bone left, I will choke the throat of an abominable era.
