The Silken Trap by Stewart Stafford
Beware chimera beauty's charm!
Faux-demure, eyes downcast.
A raging rutting season over her;
Spideress-gossamer entrapped.
She casts bait with arid hooks,
Covertly spinning sentient silk,
Soon swept up/wed/heirs sired—
Promulgating the snare's traffic.
A flash fire of rival suitors ignites,
Fans herself to mask her smirk,
The webbed game her hand to play—
Vault’s hasp clicks shut on her pulse.
