I didn't know her.
I met her in your arms, the way you held me down
and grabbed the wolf howl in me,
until I knew this body was sister to the moon
and all dark things that cannot be understood by light.
I sang with a whine, I sang with a moan,
my belly made full by the power of your lust.
I met her in the fox gleam of your eyes,
a hunger that ate my heart,
the way you held my throat and turned my spine to fire,
the way I knew there was no other way to be taken,
but completely.
And then I knew her, this body,
this feral pearl fire creature,
this ocean of feeling and tidal curves, this
Thisness.
