Through thick mulch

    

                                          she meanders

 

pink plump flesh

    

                                   eating away black

 

waving end

    

                          what would be head

 

to frozen star night

 

lace and crystal

                               

                                 crown her

 

for a debut

                       

                         clapping

 

a downpour of rain

                                      

                                        twists to thin spatter

 

she’s gripped

                            

                             locked and wrapped

 

spider clawed

                        

                         touched by worn fangs
