Nature Calls
i was having a cigarette
on my balcony
enjoying the trees
when i saw a moth
trap itself in a
cleverly placed
spiderweb.
the moth fluttered
and the spider appeared
many legged
and when the spider
came near
the moth would flutter
and the spider
would retreat
i watched terrified
and determined
to let nature be
and eventually
the moth tired
and the spider climbed
on its head
ready to deliver
it's lethal bite
or sting
ot whatever it is
they do.
the moth fluttered desperately
and the spider retreated barely
the moth tired again
and the spider approached
and this time
even though
the moth fluttered
the spider stayed
i sprung and groped
at the web
wanting to save life.
the web was destroyed
the spider disappeared
the moth disappeared
i felt better
two days later
i was having a cigarette
and i saw the moth
dangling from a stray
spider strand
the spider was hungry
the moth was dead
and i felt no better.
