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
