She rained fist-size hail upon the body she straddled…a volley of blows punctuated by slaps and scratches. i closed my eyes and held space behind her as she feasted with her fingers… as she explored the flesh and the pain beneath it … as she brought catharsis to the prey below her.
i tasted it from my perch across the room… swirling it around in my mouth before spitting it out.
“I’m going to make her cry” she had said to me … just minutes before.
She’s a woman of her word.
