#1 of Beastiary Beas - A Valentines Story

_The 14th stroke of Georgian's shortest_

_All I can do is wonder if you're doing it too?_

_Recreating snapshots of 8 years hence_

_In public transit daydreams, during the afternoon's hue_

_I must confess I time travel every single time_

_To the moonlight pouring down the arc of your back_

_As all communicative functions start to fail me_

_For all my bravado, I need your help picking up the slack_

_It's the perfect antidote to a year in the crosshairs_

_Suddenly I feel my claws recede into myself_

_Like I could camouflage into the decour_

_For just one night, we're just another pair of lovers_

_Instead the centerpiece of a wallflower exhibition_

_Locked into your thighs; finally some peace and quiet_

_Pacificyed by temporary humanity_

_What I would've give for the reunion tour_

_On this day of Saint Valentines~_

It's funny how the mind remembers the most significant events that have happened to it, even if the person behind it does everything in their power to forget. Recollections of instances that agitate the body's sensations, it'll relentlessly grasp onto them and recall them endlessly without hesitation.

The scent of the car leather

The chill of the night

The drone of the street lights

Their floorboards creaking as you tiptoe on them

A finger stroking the fur of the back of your hands

Up and down

The sensation that lingers even after the hand has been removed

Catching the alcohol scent on your breath

The blast of sauce on the makeshift pasta the morning after

The chill of the morning

Slowly letting go of your paw

It's that time of year again...

You could go over this forever if could

But the jeering of the 79 robs you of any further time with this compilation
