we, beasts
with one flash of feeling
a single, lurching drop from heart to head
you became raw,
nothing more
than red pumping flesh
two eyes, two ears
and a throatfull of animal.
nothing more.
and so,
hunter and hunted,
we are
cold, soulless in the night
carnal, caned, Screaming delight
and stabbing teresa’s spear
in flesh we used to call ‘heart.’
i saw you smiling,
i saw you smiling and almost, nearly
remembered.
darling, I look at you,
all wolf eyes
and whisper
‘once we loved.’
you only growl.
