Lokkhi Maya is a good cow

Raised for appraisal

Part human, part Pakora-Snake

She cooks all day

Windowless kitchen, unconscious

Lokkhi has strong disdain for daylight

Sweet stay at home gally by day

Nocturnal nymph at night

Lokkhi loves drowning her chrome heart for validation

Lokkhi needs a good look in the mirror

Watch her light her chrome heart on fire

Eat her, eat with her

Dripping in sweet red desire

Lokkhi has no boundaries

Monsoon season

The tv went bust, chandelier fell on her head

Lokkhi runs away from the big give away
