Moonlight Sonneta Poem by G. Newton V. Chance

Jousting cries and cat-squalls of joyful tournament
Revealing feral, feline bites, sweet throes, through rows
Of shadobeni, and corn, and then the sudden hush;

Bamboo epiglottis clicking the night's torment,
Blades of grass caress the little breeze that blows
Gossip-rustling sibilance, tendrils of susurrus;

Then wind and rain return from wherever they went.
Tassels ululating, shaking, their curling toes
Touching tips, euphoric, in the shadow's conchoid rush;

Feral cries and feline calls, fur and fury spent,
Flower buds, sweet secrets, expose to ear and nose
And wind and rain, sating soil, release their final gush;

Crescendo, then quiet, the moon has had enough.
After orgasmic love, what's left of love... if not love?
