it is dark and the world is all feeling
the marsupial Moon hungry for their flesh
but he’s getting nothin’ tonight

Echidna and Rona are pressed against
seatbelt buckles the cool of the metal torn seat
covers foam showing through
Rona is removing their jeans face concentrating so hard
Echidna snorts you alright there captain serious
Rona responds with the finger
Echidna takes the opportunity
and nips her lips around that raised digit
You cheeky shit! and a shudder

they’re turning in each other’s arms
a jagged whirl of elbows and knees and tails
slumping into exhale
Echidna weighs her tongue over Rona’s
belly moves with a snake’s precision
peels back lace careful not to rip its gentle
construction and moves her mouth
over (is this okay? a nod) a small soft form of flesh

Rona becomes an arc of electricity hand in Echidna’s curls
everything is fogging up in the Moon’s light
obscuring his vision Rona free of that
alabaster pervert at last

Echidna moves her fingers down
Rona’s side her chipped fingernails
create a squirm

oi!
fuck I’m sorry should have cut them before dyking out

there is a moment made of breath
a wet-steel whistling
into which Echidna winks
Rona just laughs
dyking out wtf?
