Elucidating Questions

Where did you come from?

That’s what you would like to know

Skittering scared

Run run run!

Here and there

I wish I could calm you but I know you

I knew you from the start

Another misfit

Who would end up alone

In someone’s back room

I couldn’t not take you

Knowing the order

Knowing you

Knowing Spinel was saying no

To being on the bottom and she wasn’t interested in spot two

I foresaw fighting

So I brought in a tiny terrified black thing

So afraid

So quiet until

Until she’s not quiet and then the voice I hear coming out of the full grown hamster I mean very small piggie

Is the loudest in the cage by decibels

I do not know where her tiny lungs keep all that sound but loud piggie

Is also so tiny

Time to start showing you world is not so scare

The world is not so scary tiny pig

Mine isn’t anyways

I’m here to love you

It’s all I could find to do while I wait to die

Onyx

You’re safe because you’re my lifeline

You’re spoilt because I love you

What inspires you?

Every moment could be recorded

Just taking down the seconds

What could inspire me? But everything, but nothing

Empty on the inside the outside flows by in colourful colourless emptiness filled with just some stuff that ended up here

Just some stuff

Like everything and everything is like or related to or can like totally be likened to everything else

Because why not?

Because I love him

Because it’s nothing without him

I feel like I’m botting in real life like it’s just on idle right now it could totally get better

It doesn’t I just tell myself that while singing a sad song all along about a boy I never knew that shone the colour blue in the night where me and you

Were first tapped alone together in the same room

Waiting for Druzy

Pondering Tanzy

She was supposed to be exactly who she was for a bit

Until Spinel proved disability doesn’t equal anything less than what the being wants

Now she hovers at the top with Spinel who ever is in whichever side of the cage is the winner

Of course there is Ruby I figured she would be friendly

They’re friendly now but she was merely the underling

Odd to watch

Brought Tanzy after a misunderstanding with a fungus

Yes bring more piggies into a cage with ringworm

Don’t worry it’s mostly harmless just annoying

My god we were both so annoyed

Spinel was fine she always is

I digress

Tanzanite’s mess is she can’t sit still open the doors one side of the room other side of the room other side of the

HOLY FUCK RUN

To the other side of the room

Oh she realised it was nothing half way and just kept running for the fun of it

She greets and approaches and one time I scratched her ear but she doesn’t like change but she loves stuff

And food and food

She came in and just ruled the roost

But I saw it coming

Spinel Spinel

Head tilt?

What Hell would have to be to strike a young pig who cannot now stand …I

The pig is now standing

Oh

And the pig would not take the ground

Such valour

Just watching her owning the place makes me giggle

But Tanzy sweet Tanzy

So greedy you are so

So

Greedy

I can feel the giggles coming when you walk up

Oh hey nice carrot

And take it and run

You just had one!

It’s okay I have six more

Poor Ruby

It’s always Ruby

I brought you home and saw the future

Your struggle with your smaller younger sister

Or cousin perhaps

I often realise I am holding a small group of females hostage and celibate their entire lives

Their a nunary I think

Ruby loves Tanzy

Tanzy loves Ruby

I sing this mockingly because I love them and I’m happy to see them kissing all over the place

Tanzanite came home, because the herd wasn’t balanced.

I love her because she’s a take charge give me everything kind of leader

And she rounds out Spinel’s sharing leadership

Beautiful piggies.

How I love you.

I have to try to go home now

You have to leave

What a thing to say

What a thing to say to someone

But I only ever find home alone

In the moments I am alone I find home

In moments

Always fleeting

I feel at home for just seconds

Or minutes

Just never with anyone else

And I want to go home you see

So you have to leave

But please come back because I hate being alone and this is the least alone I’ve been in years

It’s no longer a dress rehearsal it’s no longer prep for distant futures it’s just

Thinking of you

Thinking of you and then thinking

I’m in the wrong

Because after all I just wanted to save you and you’re saved so where does my mind even go?

What saving you is done

How does it save you

To think of things never coming never happening

How far do I have to go before thoughts of you are gone

I wish I could know

How I wish I could know

How to make these none premonitions go

Why does it mirror itself

Why can I not just forget you

If I don’t love you?

It’s better than it was it’s something else

Something else so there’s no need to think of it or worry

I wish I could stop thinking about this disgusting fantasy

I wish you could hear my father say disgusting so you know what I hear

All British disappointment and

Dripped in poison

I wish I could stop finding myself thinking of him and thinking we would be together

Or even talking

Or even thinking of him

I wish I could stop it drop it roll it

And then smoke it away like I wish I could drink it away

Like I wish doing all these drugs made it actually disappear

Seeing him and missing him and knowing she is out there missing him and she actually gets to stop missing him someday

How my mind can’t handle how my heart hurts silently wishing them all the best through the tears I stopped shedding

When my heart stopped beating

When I stopped speaking

With my heart
