Mantis from Subjects by Chesty Vulva

Mantis

She said to meet her
On the leaf next to the feeder
She said I won’t eat you
I’ll leave you for the future

I’m the mate, you’re the bait
Let’s now procreate

I’m sorry that I love you
I am sorry, now I’ll eat you

Flew down to greet her
On the leaf next to the feeder
She said I won’t eat you
I’ll save you for the future

I’m the mate, you’re the bait
Let’s now procreate

I’m sorry that I love you
I am sorry, now I’ll eat you
I’m sorry that I love you
I am sorry, now I’ll eat you

My head hits the leaves
As my body floats the breeze
Is this all just a dream?
The future says HELLO
