My god I had tenacity and this is what I am, reduced, to pleading with your eyes of lead enticed by little girls seduced by luxury of feeling good lies like cats in sprawl of this: silky satin wishfulness awakened rudely by the thrall of thumb and fingertip in rough calloused by the knowledge of tiny tenderloins are cut too rough against the grain Cat is thumping restlessness waiting for the pounce abstained licking scent from perfect paw a preparation of the hunt administration of last rites as the rage whispers the urge of claws become a cage of lust and razors bite and break the back sharp is merciful I said as I shook the rodent slack and sighed a pause of playfulness-- so sorry it was dead I said, "What else is there to do?" |

"licking scent from perfect paw a preparation of the hunt administration of last rites as the rage whispers the urge of claws become a cage of lust and razors bite and break the back sharp is merciful I said" Awesome read, Serenity. Merciful. And the lust. Really, I kinda had to chuckle, too. But when read another way, this poem is just plain powerfully strong. I love that about your poems...many times, I find more than one meaning. And hey, sometimes I'm just to thick to get it on the first read.... but each time I read, I am even more greatly impressed than the first time. Well....I'm off to catch a rat.....lol...just kidding. ....jo |
