A Trespass of Swine

the Porkopolis blog

Considerations of humanity and hogritude, because an insufficiency of pigs is one of the great faults of all that the gods have made manifest to man.

Afternoon indiscretions of swineherds and their swine

  1. What do pigs think of dawn?
  2. They cannot make incantations,
  3. But they may buoy it up with their huge pink bodies.
  4. Pigs defend the dawn while birds eat up the night.
  5. In the dawning when the world is deserted
  6. And the spiders are sleeping,
  7. People, dogs and the wind are sleeping,
  8. The pig grunts and it grows light.
  9. I wish to converse with the pigs.
  10. Pablo Neruda

We must forgive the lazy afternoon indiscretions of swineherds and their swine, for both have already awoken and seen the dawn before the rest of this world.
