FARE PLAY

She toys with limp form
A horrible game
Vaulting to the sky
And crashing down upon my throat

I love you I protest
as she arrives upon me

“I know” she purrs

I can feign no more

She does not want me
But a cat is seldom to release a catch
Even with no hunger

I have not forgotten the genesis of our love
It was then I hunted her

Like a grey frog on a rock I did wait

Croaking sweet poems

That she believed to be the wind

I thought she was a little fly

Buzzing in freedom

Tight tiny wings flutter wherever she may go

Nowhere safe from my quick trap tongue
My glands, my thick legs, my lust

But what I perceived as a fly
Was but one eye of two
Set above the whiskers that guide her teeth,
her jaw, her blades of hot wet death

feline she is

and though a toad may leap

a cat must pounce

and so she has devoured my tongue

I tremble as she nips in peace
