The Skin Cycle III: Better Dog

Story by Aux Chiens on SoFurry

Hey, hey

Boy like the puppy--

Rare-sweet lips

Strawberry-blossom honey,

Made by hypnotic-buzzing bees.

Hey, hey

Boy like the otter--

Almond eyes, match

Slim-sleek body.

Making a motion--

Sinew and pelt.

Untamed smile--

Wild from forests

One glance, endless

Flash--

Coy grin.

River-water

Trickles

Fingers

Grow lithe--

Sparkles

Browned skin,

Shaggy, flaxen--

At me,

Something

Superior now.

Hey, hey

Boy,

Let me see your

Tail wag--

Let me see your

Heart pump--

Make that smile come out

Delirious.

Hey, hey

Boy,

I know you missed me.

Shake that wet hair,

C'mere--

Hey, hey

Boy,

Time to

Show how you missed me.
