Self preservation is second nature
& survival/first priority
& my aggression useful
though wild Abandon
arrives standard
sometimes even late
Where I haunt, men tremble
I cannot see why they might [aim]
to pull
|the trigger/but|
they must act, as I do
There is a loneliness in this world,
so great___ I cannot deny it
[loathe to have it]
Where oracles call,
I must be led
to my revival
the carrion in my teeth
is naught but remains of enemies
when I explore, the world__
Know: I rarely eat alone

Oh god I get Plath vibes all through this… perfect, caustic, clear eyed, gorgeous. And then the touch of Buk and I smiled, that poem is one of my forever favorites. 🌹🕊
