An insolent grasshopper
flew into the embrace
of my bare room,
lost,
frightened
and chirpy!
You invaded my peace, man!
Your wings my executioner’s sword!
Your fangs my grave digger’s pride!
I struck at it, the hopper,
It lay at my feet
shocked,
unmoving
except for the twitching
of uncomprehending antennae.
I stared at your stupor,
amazed,
sharing in your shock!
Suddenly
it sprang into life,
on the floor!
crying to me
for mercy that I cannot give,
for life that I do not have!
Then it went into a shadow
and died,
the grasshopper, it died!
My kindred,
I have killed you!
My kinsbeing,
You have killed me
by dying such an agonising death!
For my peace,
I shall bury you!
You shall not satisfy
the grizzly hunger
of some shameless lazy lizard!
