dinner for two by moonlight

Dinner for two by moonlight

 

The lion loves the gazelle

he’s eating

more than life itself.

There is no life

without that love.

What gift could he give

more than claws

rushing through hide

to underbelly soft-as-love insides?

The moment of surrender

when the gazelle

gives up the fight

must surely be like a sweet coming

on a soft mattress

enclosed and absorbed

into the maw

of the beloved.
