From “Our Animals”

lands? I recall a forum.

Great Big Ocean

Be confused with ‘moss gathers’) [grammar rules &c.]
I remember my human mother: Gurianna
they called her: GOATGURIANNA
Memory, or suggest an empire
My cousins, vegetable lamb
We exchange rear-leg self-groom for
communal baths: we’re exploring
terrain here: I’ve retreated
from the peak
For the longest
home = 20m2
rested in peat bog
read(y) to assemble
I was a queen, I named it

& crave company
