under the cabbage
leaves something squirms and wails

Mother
fills a home with spiders
a snug nest
secure from enemies
hatchlings feed
on their lovely
arachnid food
when it's gone
it'll be time
to stretch their wings
and fly

empty wrapped boxes

one-year-old tears them open

and laughs out loud

the front yard yielded
a crop of new melons
one perfect child each

pale green mantis
perched upon my arm
what victim fits your tiny jaws?
