his "Grown up Kitten"
she purred his fantasy,
laughing at his jokes, for her own amusement
Her body was dipped
in diamonds from prior love affairs
and cat fights won
in the early morning hours
Feeding off his youth
she moved in for the kill
a feline eye with calculated timing
she had him, tomorrow's breakfast would be eaten
at Tiffany's
