Pig
It was the fellow called Anteng
Who crept in the night and saw
The pig in the bushes
He crept in the night
For other purposes
The pig wore a white shirt
And a black pair of shorts
It was small but Anteng thought
It was bigger than 50 kilos
Anteng wants it all
The pig stood up
And split itself into two
Anteng said that pig
Split itself into three
For other purposes
When daylight came
The pig was gone
And the lines under Anteng's eyes
Spread like ripples of water
In the bladder of a man
Who could not sleep
Haunted by the dream of
The dividing pig
------
An old poem, I wrote

to remember our weasel of a neighbour and his pig.

Thank you, Tim.
Now I remember, this poem was partly influenced by an indigenous myth from the mountain province, something about the marriage of a goddess to a man, a disastrous affair, so the goddess divided the body of her son into two - one to live in heaven the other on earth.
But this fellow with the pig is just a weasel ... ;)

Greed takes many forms - and a weasel can be greedier than a pig - great myth making

It sounds like a dream transcription or a popular myth.
I enjoy this irreal atmosphere

Thank you, Celino. With myth one can invent new things too. I think you have just invented an amazing word - irreal! It is a word only for poetry! :)
Re: Pig
oh I really like
this, abs, it's
more than the sum
of its parts...(a
pig divided by two
is a pig shared..:)

Aha! Thank you Kexby. You don't need to pretend indeed, since one can always ask if one can't understand. Or one can freely interpret the telling.
Thanks for reading. :)
