Fatal Widow's Lair
A beat of my hungry passion draws you
To me. And I wait for this slow approach,
Excited…darkness on camouflage of grass
My limbs attract,entrap... now a quick dance begins,
And I devour your crown through firm motion
Ending this pleasure with a deathly adieu,
While ovules scatter on wet ground, my seedlings
Growing in the vapor of nightfall’s circle…
I become a widow again, praying for other mates
Till eve’s desire enthralls more consorts to my lair,
An instinct borne from Nature's law of entrapment.
