ugly animal
despite your designer apparel
I still know you as near feral
I can feel the life hot inside me
Jittery in my wired cage
Running in circles, madly dashing
Eighty / two hundred and no presage
Heedless and headlong never knowing
The wall, an afterthought discovery
Forepaws grounded, now to find good basis
Loins twist quickly in recovery
Is this about a girl? : ) I like the fluidity or some unnameable something about these latest two MattWricks works. I noticed the animal twist too, very nice. What is it about us? We both seem to come back from breaks at the same time.

we have a house saying, “near feral”. and one day the opening line popped out and it may be the only valuable part (sung loudly along with fugazi-type music). in my mind, there is a stanza or two missing which would tie it all together better. does the chord pattern have to resolve?
