The Intended by Robert McDonald There is an Australian leech who seeks out anotherAustralian leech with slightly different markings, a slightly different species. The Australian leech romances the other, twines around it, two slick skins like stroking fingers in black leather gloves. The second leech, the intended, gives in to the twist and strain and complication of sex. The Australian leech fastens its sucker mouth, not a kiss, and transforms its partner's innards into a runny gelatin, digesting it slowly from the inside out. Oh my sweet darling. There are people you will know like this. |
