mongoose woman

approaching eight 

sleeping dogs 
water bowl spiked 
collars 
you learned  
to love  
your sorrow 

continue teaching 
give me a lecture . 

mongoose woman 
the villagers 
despise you  
why ? 
were you scoped 
or spun to dry ? 

cut off your hair 
on a whim 
got a wig 
i confess my 
love and hate 
still searching 
through clutter 
for craft 

mongoose woman 
the villagers were wicked 
and the devils 
never turned their backs 

sleeping dogs  
are mowing grass 
will they find  
what weve been hiding ?
