The Pig in the Hedge

There are at least
A thousand spines in my back &

I would apologise for each but
Will remain under the hedge

With the thorns, my lookalikes.
I will wear my heart,

Not at my wrist, but
Buried deeply in my chest &

Further buried
In tucking my legs &

Arching my back over
Into a ball of pins.

Like the pig in my name
I will hog my heart.
