Scorpio
by Arachn
Lo, fearfully and wonderfully made
Sequins embroidered on the cloak of night
Sparkling for me, and yet, he shuns the light
With weapons ready he dwells in the shade.
Fate, let me take the hapless cricket's place
Chirping, condemned, once more my cheery song
Come, lover, grab and crush me, how I long
For drawn-out death in horrible embrace.
