my cave is never big enough
back to my cave where I behave
where no one stares when I carry her by the hair;
to the place where I've arranged the flowers
at my fire pit where I have slaved for hours..
where a roast on spit sits succulent to the bone
and my paintings on the walls all call it home
I try and talk with well-intended grunts:
It's all for her if this is what she wants..
but she smirks at my fresh picked bed of clover
and raves about that creature next cave over
where no one stares when I carry her by the hair;
to the place where I've arranged the flowers
at my fire pit where I have slaved for hours..
where a roast on spit sits succulent to the bone
and my paintings on the walls all call it home
I try and talk with well-intended grunts:
It's all for her if this is what she wants..
but she smirks at my fresh picked bed of clover
and raves about that creature next cave over
