the queen redback spider and her sacrificial males

"It is a common belief that male spiders, which usually are significantly smaller than the females, are likely to be killed after or during mating, or sometimes even before mating can occur."

i was not angry at you
as with anger there is strength
i was but gashed, hurt and broken winged
............... weak

you.............
YOU had the strength
the strength to throw it all away and move on fast

and look at me with pity
and throw me crumbs of love

the strength to think you were guiltless
and believe it

the nerve to think we can still be best of friends
after the horror i endured for you

is she she stupid ?................. no
confused ?............. don't think so
evil in its purest form ?...... maybe

and by pure i mean evil in its most delectable and mouth watering of forms

....................but still no

she is a mix of cold hard-hearted and calculated selfishness
with a generous dash of basic uninhibited sexual implosion

resulting in the most ruthless of man-eating known to this sphere

______________________________

some would kill to have this problem of mine........you know
and call me petty

to fall prey....... and be chewed alive
as an offering
to this splendorous goddess of unbound pleasure and endless painful irration

i bow to thee
and contemplate the beauty of the web you have woven

"despite the supposed aggressiveness of the female spider towards the male, the male may live in the female's web for some time without being harmed, and It is believed to be rare for a fit male to be eaten by the female."

i barely escaped.............
so long...... high mistress
