A black widow came to me
and said:
"As in ancient times,
crown thy head
with thorns and celebrate
this celestial body of mine
as I kiss you
to your Death.
Drink my blood-red wine
and enjoy the joy of my flesh
and the fresh flowers blooming
in my country flooding
of milk
and honey, run with me
through the woods and love me
forever
breathless."
