Elvis Wolverine Trahan Tkz! Tkz!
was accidentally released into the wild
and it has been stormy most days since
and so my heart howls
i saw him once sitting on top of the fence
tufts of hair blowing in the wind, but
he ran from when i ran to and
it's not that i expect him to want to come back
i know he's gone
i just wasn't ready to release him yet
i was going to let him get a little older and build him a little house
and do it slowly
when it was warm
and we would of played in the grass until he was ready to go to sleep in his little house
and we would have worn daisies and dandelions in our hair
but he's gone and my heart howls
i dream of storms
i dream of him large like a cat
winding through my arms
and touching my nose
with his
~

You drag your pretty coral edges over me and split me to the core
wanna see what you would look like snuggled up inside my corpse
cuz you may as well, that’s what you do to me
quick and deep you make me spill out onto the ground
and I have this to witness like watching paint dry
like an atom bomb in the rear view mirror

Mary hairy scary pits
used to give her neighbors fits
when spying her charms
she’d raise both her arms
the bushes would cover her ****

If i pull the spiders from inside
(some still live, most have died)
would the torture of their crawling
always still be calling, calling.

If i pull the poison from my vein
dilute with a less toxic strain
would i still be slowly dying
always again, crying, crying

If i could cause them to depart
the blades that dive into my heart
could i change or break the law
(the palm or the fist!) The claw! The claw!

If through my life had not paraded
things to leave me cold and jaded
would i still know something of
the joy it is, to love, to love!
