Sex With Animals
She had cats
she had a top-floor flat
in the south of London
where there are breathable spaces.
The cats claimed their own spaces
and guarded every inch of them.
She was a practicing witch
she had all the gear, conical hat, wand, black eye-paint
but was still practicing, spiritually inclined
but not too smart.
Candles and incense littered the edge of the bed
I checked for pentagrams and was relieved
to find none.
Despite all these eccentric foibles
a young man can overlook them all
if need insists.
She was a real beauty.
I more or less jumped onto her willing nakedness.
I thought the scratches I felt on my back
were from her own purple fingernails,
but no,
I was being attacked by angry hissing cats.
Thus to this very day
I cannot morally endorse any sex with animals.
