A Bark Scorpion is caught in a trap.
I look at it
and behold the pain in
the lateral eyes of the yellow arachnid.
Its convulsive movements
freeze my steps.
I release the trap and step back.
It approaches me
and stings on my foot
Yes scorpions sting.
That's their way
of demonstrating gratitude.

That'll teach you! You can't help some scorpions...or people.

My uncle was stung on his foot by a scorpion - even though he did not try to help it. Interesting piece.?
