Beautiful Roadkill

Beautiful Roadkill

A Poem by Esoteric Strand
"

Behold: Nature's Bounty

"

Do me a favor

Feel a black widow crawl into your mouth

Tell it, “nature is beautiful.”

 

Let a slithering stranger join you in bed

Fangs in your eyes, you strain a muted cry:

“Witness the cycle of life”

 

Convince me of your convictions

So much is going on:

Slugs behind the scenes up to nothing good

Swarms of flies orbiting smiling roadkill

 

Tortured meat

Nature isn’t pristine, not even clean.

It’s nasty

Gritty

Filthy

Covered in ooze

Drenched in death

Exploding egg sacks

Wonderful like that
