Wow, Todd, this reads like something ancient, messy, deep, alive. I don’t think I’ve ever read something so feral, and so philosophical, and so startling, all at once. It’s wild, and strange, and brilliant, and I loved every bit of it.
I’m smiling here at the buried rhymes, and the way some invented words have been hauled in there. It reminds me of the tortured language in “Riddley Walker”, where the meaning just emerges as you go on. 🙂
(Also smiling at “Kings caked in their poo” – I’m always here for a puerile jag to the left 🤪)
Ancient and feral are great descriptions. It's Poe-like, biblical, philosophical, imaginative, unique and really cool.
Here you go; Hazel is wonderful

double Cheers, I’ll take Poe and Biblical any day!!
There is someone here who has a Poe-Tato collection or challenge….I’ll find it and try to connect y’all
That could be very im-POE-tant to me
Lolololol
thanks
