by

Whale the Boar

A

Speaker:

kind

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

boar

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

roots

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

in

time,
His

Speaker:

crossings

and

recrossings

Speaker:

scar

Speaker:

the

loam,
And

Speaker:

dig

Speaker:

up

bits

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

history

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

gorge.
This

Speaker:

nut,

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

righteous

Speaker:

cause;

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

shroom,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

fraud,
Until

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

track

Speaker:

leads

Speaker:

anywhere

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

all.
One

Speaker:

such,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

legend

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

boars

Speaker:

know

well:


A

well:

bright-eyed

well:

fatal

well:

huntress,

well:

death

well:

for

well:

claws.
(A

well:

tiger

well:

can

well:

erase

well:

a

well:

sounder whole,
One

well:

boarlet

well:

at

well:

a

well:

time.

well:

That's

well:

how

well:

it

well:

goes,
An

well:

apex

well:

killer

well:

heeds

well:

no

well:

mewling

well:

judge.)
This

well:

grand

well:

old

well:

boar

well:

in

well:

havoc

well:

charged

well:

her

well:

flank
And

well:

clove

well:

into

well:

her

well:

flesh.

well:

Her

well:

swift

well:

reply
Set

well:

loose

well:

his

well:

skull

well:

from

well:

spine.

well:

She

well:

licked

well:

the

well:

wound.
She

well:

took

well:

five

well:

steps,

well:

and

well:

stumbled

well:

once,

well:

and

well:

died.
No

well:

losing

had

well:

graced

well:

her

mind.
This

well:

blood-soaked

well:

plot,

well:

inside

well:

this

well:

mazy

wood:


Who

wood:

says

wood:

they

wood:

weren't

wood:

or

wood:

won't

wood:

be

wood:

here

wood:

and

wood:

him?
They

wood:

reared

wood:

us

wood:

in

wood:

a

wood:

sounder

wood:

much

wood:

the

wood:

same.
We

wood:

both

wood:

grew

wood:

large

wood:

and

wood:

strong

wood:

on

wood:

thick

wood:

hog

wood:

milk,
And

wood:

left

wood:

to

wood:

leave

wood:

our hoof

wood:

upon

wood:

the

wood:

earth,
Till

wood:

fully

wood:

grown,

wood:

then

wood:

back

wood:

to

wood:

hearth

wood:

and

wood:

rut.
Alas,

wood:

I

wood:

am

wood:

another

wood:

kind

wood:

of

wood:

boar.
I

wood:

envy this

wood:

paternity

wood:

without
Inheritance,

wood:

without

wood:

the

wood:

duty

wood:

or
The

wood:

urge

wood:

to

wood:

follow

wood:

some

wood:

untrodden

wood:

path.
