a moment of need

[corvus_raptorus]

i want you
thrusting up against me
a dog on his hind legs
insistent in his need

i want you
the shower beckons
steam heat and naked
no room for shame

shoulders
shoulder blades and a valley between them
my compass tracing the geometry of your spine
your hips
your ass

so
there are women everywhere
being raped by men
who hunt them
down alleys or dark corners
under the suffocating blanket of night

there's the primitive reptile brain
the old fight or flight
the hands deny the wrists
a struggle

i consider traumatic insemination
bedbugs do it
flagellum do it
i consider you
and if you'd do it
and for a moment i cease breathing

you've fucked so many girls
the bright fine heads mounted on your walls
their vague glass eyes glittering
their mock life grins

i will not be one of those trophy mounts
it is decided
if i am to have you
you will be caught off guard
your rifle misfiring with the weight of my impact
my heat, my rage, my nails
digging furrows through the fabric of you
until my teeth settle satisfyingly
and i content myself with your flesh
