The Black Bug
Days and days i have travelled on, little by little,
i've gained my scarlet scorn, touch me not,
for i will smite you, you may be a little blue and then i'll black you.
Muddy breath, sticky sweat,
come close, do not fret.
i long to walk away with you from the stem,
like my fellow bugs, those who escaped the predators' helm.
Let not my smutty exterior decieve you,
i reveal myself, my being, to only a discerning few.
I am the Black bug and someday i shall return home!
with scarlet splotches, from this desert biome.
