Like a cicada trapped within a fan

Like a cicada trapped within a fan

stupid morbid
cockroach bodied
fly headed
zoo exhibit
light chaser
don’t you ever learn?
irritating everyone
noticed by none.
kamakazi instincts only brings you closer
to the rotor blades of death

pretty fly,
how many times must your wings be clipped
before you realize escape is impossible?
and death is inevitable?

***

silenced forever
morning dewed sunray
rainbowed spectrums
refracting from those
motionless webbed wings.

sigh
if only
you had let
me appreciate your beauty
by dwelling for just
one moment
while you were still
alive, instead of banging your head
into every object in sight.

amnesia and ignorance
twinned blessings.
