Death of the Moth

Savan DePaul

A normal day, nectar’s taste intoxicates me
I zoom past a hive- they’ve gotta hate me
Taking a shortcut through the brush
I don’t have to lie
I’m telling you this story in my afterlife
We our kind have our sisters and brothers
Who live, drink, reproduce, and die just like the others
My case was no exception
So sit down and listen to this tale told from my perspective
Me and my mates have drinks at the local stigma
Petals are our barstools- wait for the nectar to hit ya
I lеave the spot and bid my sisters ado
My girl’s kids arе hungry- gotta get there soon
As I notice the skies above, that shade of blue
Wait...my ankle...what’s this!...oh dear...
Lord, that’s a wolf to me but a pest to you
My leg and thorax, all ensnared in her silky matrix of death
(gasp) Taking a breath
I want to fly away, but I’m trapped
My killer crawls forth without repentance
In this sentence, I’d like to mention of her hunger and rage
So I’m gonna meet my maker
When she tests my flavor, I’ll rejoin the insect savior
In the equation of life, this is a subtraction
Here’s my reaction to being held captive by an arachnid
I’m frightened- I see her out of the corner of my compound eyes
For flying too close, I’ve been chosen as the predator’s prize
I’m waiting for a bird to swoop in or another miracle
Antennae slowly twitching, air pumping through spiracles
I wonder if the afterlife is ethereal
I’ll find out when my killer uses her digestive material
A fang in the abdomen, this is the end
Farewell to my friends
The spider’s leg bends around my carapace
Tearing it- ah! you derelict
I’m fading...loss...of cousciouness...needy of oxygen
Leaking...venom...I’m...gone and it’s...the moth...I’m coming...
Gone to the obelisk of light....
Those lights go off and then on and then on and then...
Gone...
