my girls play with freshly
defrosted steak, their claws
pit and pat testing it
and how they are eager to
get on the floor all fours to devour
it, and when one is finished
so jealous of the other watching the unfinished
with piercing stares and guttural moaning.
so, May I need to cook another, they say yes
though they speak with full mouths and
bellies. To me it all tastes like liver.
With a bit of snap and chew to it.
They seem to like it , though.
