Joysucker

Plague of darkness, Acrididae of the deep,
annihilating the new
tender buds wrested to your purview--
a guileless feast chewed to bitter delusion;
now spittle secretions or vituperation.

Proboscis unfurled, penetrating deep,
'til bloodless eyes weep final drops of naivete
Triumphant legs scREEEch, piercing nerves
rubbing in victorious exultation of its prize, now conquered.

Victim laid bare, beckons dawn, pleading;
anticipating night--the End Song.
