I’m thinking maybe it’s time
And the wind agrees.
I saw the change in the tides,
The sway of the trees.
Please stand back as I collect the seeds,
Once yours to use not merely as pleased,
Now not at all as I go to town
Reclaiming truth and staring you down.
I am a spider who spins his web,
You are a vulture who eats the dead.
From gifts of nature I weave magic
Yet you prefer to scavenge instead.
Once you are dying from hunger with venom I’ll lie still
Awaiting imminent arrival ‘till you’re mine to kill.
