My mother's love is service
She doesn't know how to stop
Always giving without hesitation
Never knowing when is enough
My mother's love is excessive
To the point it suffocates
That things starts to get blurry
Where love inevitably turns into hate
Therefore, my mother's love is pain
For both those who are involved
And I think I inhereted some of her
Since we were carved in the same mold

I met Skunkpig while hiking through the Superstition mountains. Racing the sun to the trailhead before dusk, I heard what I thought was drums and chanting on the wind. I stopped to listen. I'm pretty sure they were going to eat me, but I had water and a field recorder I told them I was interesting using to record their songs.
Whether Skunkpig is the name of their leader or the entire tribe, it's never clear. They all refer to themselves as Skunkpig, but the leader I suspect to be Skunkpig is the only one who ever uses "I," and the lesser tribesmen orbit the great creature like asteroid rings. How many are there? Enough it seems.
Skunkpig eat whatever they can find, but primarily hunt lost hikers. They often toy with people shooting old refrigerators and couches out in the desert. Quietly removing vital car parts, then watching them from afar as they wonder what to shoot to save themselves as the heat does its grim work. They make jewelry, tools, and knives from the guns. They say they have no use for them. They let the sun bring their prey to a useless weakened stupor and pluck whatever they clutch from their tired hands, stepping back before the prey's last gasp so their dry, red-eyes can see their hunter stand before it "stains the sand." People the tribe find shooting cactus are made to drink the acidic water of the barrel cactus until their organs revolt. They have no gods, but they hold sacred the Gila monster for its unyielding bite, the roadrunner for its brazen brutality, the cactus for its efficiency and its fruit, and the night. They respect the sun.
This is the first recording I made of Skunkpig, doing the hunt song "Gila Monster Blood" I've promised to record more of them in exchange for safe passage in their lands.

Avoidantly, I refrain From opening my mouth Fearing that you will hear My mother's heartache Etched into my words.
Anxiously, I hold my tongue Repressing my father's anger That of which poisons my blood.
Disorderly, My silence grows A bed of unspoken thoughts, Rooted in past sorrows, Watered by the tears of every generation before me.
Yet, in time, I learn to whisper To find my voice And declare that I am more Than the fears I have inherited. I abandon the screams Of my ancestors' pain, To break the cycle So that one day, My words will flow Not with heartache or anger, But with love and peace, instead.

Do you think fucking her good and hard is how you'll get her to want you? Do you think touching her outer shell is what will bring you closer? If you're not interested in really penetrating her soul, then your love will always remain superficial.

Regretz
We never show our true emotions, until it's time to let go.
The way we speak and the words we say, they can be so violent.
But the words left unsaid they cut the most, they run so deep.
That we didn't see the crash up a head, we didn't see.
Lie to me like I lie to myself.
So close to happiness, we were so close.
Regrets we have made.
Desires we have.
We've put love on the line, not for the first or last time.
It's a fine line between love and escape.
We're living on borrowed time.
Fact or fiction, right or wrong.
We never truly know until it's time to let go.
Lie to me like I lie to myself.
So close to happiness, we were so close.
Regrets we have made them.
Desires we all have them.
By Zinck

Their Second Choice
I hate being the second choice
I always am
I'm kind of pretty
But I'm not that kind of pretty
The one that boys look at photos of
I'm not a "look at her photos" Kind of girl
Not to boys
I'm just another girl they think is kind of cute
I'm just their second choice
And it just feels bad
Because,
This idea that he could never like me the most of any girl
I will never be his "most"
