Wow, what a beautiful poem. you could always see it as your primal subconscious swamp nature, full of lust, greed, hatred, envy and the other dreaded human afflictions talking to your higher self, your superconscious wonderful beautiful graceful generous noble witty sublimely interesting and kind self.

Cheers, girl!
