Dancing a jig with a kick and a clink
Kicking off mud in a priggish way
A pig who liked dancing at the end of day

Like a stray dog, I am pulled; dragged...

Horns were blowing; people were freaking out during their ride.

Loose Connections
...I am in this place and you are in that.
The living visit the dead
but the dead move among us
looking for where we were.

The Lady Who Liked Mangos

And the Goddess of Love has put up her tent,
Lives a lady with fire in her eyes and cats in her kitchen.
