The Faith of Mammals 

By Ann Chiappetta

 

Would you love me if I drank your water

Like the quaking prey, eyes darting 

Graceful neck outstretched

Nostrils flared patrolling 

For  the shaggy  cunning

predators of the mists?

Would you love me if I  hungered for more than mere water and 

Dove, driving talons into flesh and carried it to the Airy

Sating  the raptor in my heart?

Would you love me still 

If I drank of your water, washed my body in 

Your sanctified splashes, rinsing the taint of sin from my skin?

Would you

Love me still?
