Mating

Scales upon fur upon flesh.  Claws and hands gripping, touching caressing.  Tongues entwined, bodies enmeshed.  Thoughts like words like water, dripping, fading, falling.  No meaning.  Tails wrapped in a tangled web of scale and fur.  No end no beginning.  He. She. They.  Panted breath, lapping tongues.  Thighs tensed muscles sprung.  A thrust a give, release and pleasure.  Pleasure.  Neither pain nor joy, something more and less then either alone.  Collapsed forms sated and satisfied.  Heat subsiding; sleep encroaching, intimacies as lovers slept.  Together, at peace in one another’s arms.
