Inspired by John Agard’s Hippo to her Husband.
Praying Mantis Writes a Love Poem to his Wife:
My lovely vegetarian
egalitarian mantis wife.
Your spindly arms tucked in prayer;
layers of raptorial knives.
Praying Mantis Writes a Love Poem to her Husband:
Flitting from leaf to leaf
with a sort of graceful finesse
You complete my life
…and yours within my jaws’ death caress.
