grass blade sways
beetle legs strain
egg depository folded
fine silk spun /
black dotted
shiny shell
protecting
delicate protuberances
from sun and
hungry passersby /
slight discoloration
weighty mass
embryonic future
scrambled breakfast /
weeks burn
summer slips away
tiny impersonators emerge
ravenous and
carrying fresh mandible /
grass blade
torn asunder
fattened babes
spreading bright wings
seek fresh shoots for dinner /
