after a long hour
she calmed down a bit somehow
whimpered like a cat
she tried hard to speak
I believe .. cat got her tongue
she smiled through the sweat
I asked her quietly
her name .. she said rosemary
her sweat kept pouring
gently dabbed her soft face
with white ice cool .. wet face cloths
for a few minutes
she breathed deep .. then slept
felt her wild cat moan scratches
in my back .. blood drawn
