The State of Nature

I’m scrounging, slobbering,
fingers in the dirt.
Teeth chattering
and lips blue without blood.

I’m carving a circle
around myself
to preserve my state of nature.

From outside this circle
you can have none of what’s mine.
From inside this circle life is short lived.

Works on some interesting levels actually.

Let's see more!
