The Spider and a Lizard

-Oishi Haque

The bed was a mess, trousers on the table and books on the bed

A big Spider was the only inhabitant!

No, a dominated white lizard, too

She was scared and thundered to utter a word of woe.

The head of her was half swallowed,

Her breasts were bleeding

Her eyes were cold and still on the ceiling.

She was preyed upon, she was eaten – everyone knew.

No one rescued her but mourned a few.
