The Burrow and the Bore

The molting has begun, my body’s changing,
have to find a home in which to start to grow,
end game without praying, no need to explain things.

Buried deep in the colloquial saying,
used to reap what you did sow,
river molting has begun, my body is changing.

Rapid shedding, why is it raining?
Oh beware, the water table is low.
without praying, no need to explain things.

Alive at last, I don’t need any training.
Never you fear, I continue to grow,
daily molting has begun, my body’s changing.

The time for me to dig and get to the grounding.
Here in my world nothing ever happens slow,
even with praying, no need to explain things.

Broken, earthen, with a pounding
Oh tend to the curtains and bar the front door.
River molting has begun, my body’s changing,
every game begins and ends without ever praying.

Hour six, 2pm
The Burrow and the Bore
