Throat Locker

Who has anything to say
After swallowing some news
Of tarantula hawk

Toxicity? It may not
Have even been meant for you.
It evolved to provision

The nectar-loving beauties
With helpless living larders
For the instars of their young.

It’s not meant for writer’s block.
It’s meant to render spiders
Who are predators themselves

Immobilized capital
For more beauty. But you’re locked.
