trembling

as drops of blood
gently appeared
on his back

a sign
that she had
marked her territory

his skin
under her fingernails
tamed dominated
he waited for her next command

she spread
his universe
open for him
luring him into believing
it was his sanctuary

as he slithered
towards her
to be undone
she seized his
gasp
midair

and left him
spent
trembling
in her hand

no strings attached
