    Lady Mantid

    I spot her, blending with the green surroundings
    where she chooses to reside. Her long, thin arms
    and her curved abdomen look smooth and inviting
    as she calls me toward her, arms folding like Venus Traps.
    I can see your destiny, she speaks to me, if you would like to see…
    And her eyes appear as green round fortune-tellers orbs
    so I trust her. I can see her vision is expanding
    and she can see miles away through flowers,
    through canopies of branches, through me.
    She looks so poised and harmless, so awe-inspiring,
    perched with her long green scythes folded
    like swords that no one will approach. Yet I have.
    Her tiny jaws expand into a wide grin.
    And now I realize my destiny, too, as the components
    of her mouth built for a means to an end
    razor through my body, razor through my skeleton.
    This is the way of Mother Nature, she assures me,
    and I am consumed in whole, as I give my life to her.
