Her claws on ivory bone
flickering, raking
A bloodstained splotch on her scales
dripping and oozing
Strong jaws tearing flesh,
with the sickle claw in my abdomen,
clever girl,
Her fangs in my shoulder
knowing exactly where to chew.
She says: Well, nothing much. She's a dinosaur.
She means:
it's not about life or death.
it is about evolution.
