wasp

Parasitic queen dressed in gold and black,

we made love among hyacinth

tracts and the morning dew

then parted.

 

I’d thought it through but

venom proved stronger than

my ire as

memories of you wormed about;

your racing touch and

erasing much to finally burst

my head.

 

The larval feelings spun

themselves up in

little white silk

lies

And what wiggles out,

though formed and fed

off my mind and husk,

Resembles you, winged

and rue

hungry for a meal anew.
