Oh entities above,
how hungry I am,
nothing I have
not even a home
so now I thee ask
for anything
that helpest me live

so now
I go
toward the copse of trees
placed there by the powerful ones
and go I there, for food to find
quietly
and there is something I can eat

but before I can eat
I see
see
the twisted one copied off me
so white but with
such long twisted limbs
and body parts incorrect

speaking in tongues
not possible and garbled
when I see the next one
so tiny, too tiny
speaking in a different but similar tongue
impossible
scary

the third one
a sickly yellow
a bit larger than me
speaks in that first garbled tongue
now I'm running
from the beings that are out
of amigara fault

abandon my mission for food
abandon
the borzoi
chihuahua
golden retriever
chase after me
chase after coyote
