heat hanging

for each other

in the ether

unspoken yet

both wanting more

her pheromones

reaching out

she knew it

I knew it

we were going to do

the thing

both showing out

red triangles at throats

indicating need

but first

we had to establish

some ground rules

no kicking no scratching

unless requested

these were

dangerous times

for both us with

the feral in charge

politeness & decorum

just words today

for thinner rooms

where much later

we’d calculate the damage

done
