THE POACHER'S PALATE

By Cat London

ree

Hair graceful

God, shimmering!

This mane worth more

Than pelts I’ve seen her in

Skin of angels,

Smooth, cinnamon

Scent begging the hunt I want her in

Bed will clear my head tonight

Helping prepare for her flight

Oh, she’ll resist,

This beauty-beast,

But untamed creatures

Taste like sweets.
