From my centre,
The volcano steadily erupts;
Pure energy gushes out.

In this centre,
the Black Predatory Spider waits.
Tense - until - a vibration…
She scuttles out…
Investigates…
Grabs and immobilizes her prey.

Red blooms turn red brown…
Crumble to ash.

The sweet enticing song
of the bright plumaged bird
becomes a nauseating dance macabre.

The energy continues its steady flow…
