BEYOND THE EDGE OF ALIEN DESIRE

			Seduced by pheremones
			more potent to the senses
			than my species own,
			I ride her blue cries
			to crimson excitations,
			and for a trembling instant
			the light years between
			our limbs collapse.

			Charged by the tendrils
			of her spiked electric fur
			to telepathic sight,
			I feel pain raining down,
			see blue fields blown
			in the searing light,
			know the wiles of victims
			for the pale glabrous beasts
			who handle them by night.

			At dawn the dreadnaughts leap,
			another world to take,
			her scent is still upon me,
			blue miles to go before I wake.
