Sounds harsh, but
If it weren't for
the predators around us
the world
would be up to it's ass
in something

Hello. My name is
Jonathan Pryce. I came here

Betrayal of plum.
He loved her mother
Who betrayed him
Since we share blood
He thought he could win all
Her gifts by selling her daughter to butcher and bitch.

Vocal Projection
half hidden
in tall summer grass
she creeps
matisse the cat
on the prowl
vocalizing
like a ventriloquist
hoping to scare up
a warm furry snack

Moo
No boundaries
Vaguely distracted
Wandering
like a lost cow
nearing a cliff

Her Name Happens To Be Lucy Figg
Her name happens to be Lucy Figg
who hopes to land a job in some big
time company somewhere
but they all would not care
because who wants to hire this one pig.

I’ll never grieve for others,
