A Lesson in Restraint
A chapter in the book Little Poems
haibun (hunger and desire)
by Treischel
|
Do you always scratch the itch, or should you sometimes let it be? hunger pulls
to fulfill its need but beware I see in nature examples all around me. See little black spider in the grass watching larger female? There he is, pulled by hunger and desire. Such a luscious hourglass figure and gorgeous red mark on her back that is attracting him. He feels the itch, the pull. She sees him. Oh yes, she summons him, to share her sip of prey. He approaches her. They share the liquid emulision that once was a grasshopper. He is intoxicated. She emits a fragrance he cannot resist. He is just what she desires. They dance. They mate. Thus it begins. a dance of desire
that soon lights the red hot spark in flame that consumes ultimate hunger fulfilled when male is eaten by the Black Widow |
