1. Amongst the four pigs the wolf sat
Basking in whore's glory
Writing the scribe in blood
Skeletons of wax and leather
Drip denim onto soft grey foam
"Resplendence in powder,
Sentient bees lacking vibrance."
Dissolved in ash,
a thought lingers on thermals
Then scenes into animal meat are closed.
The green fox in crazed furs stands back
Startled by the vanity of the vines
and derives pleasure from the soft waves the shift
Red and white
On occasion, the movement of the people forms itself into branches and roots.
Adversity at it's finest

2. I was birthed warm on the beach
Bathed in light, swathed in mud and rust
the men in the distance were dragging the oars through the lush water
Red threads trailing at their waists
Metal arms connecting their torsos
Terror.
Mother came under the cover of clouds
As Father rushed in to protect me
Cool breezes over my head and over my mouth
Silence.
Cloudy milk poured from my eyes
As music came to rest.
