Spider

I spit black blood
On white porcelain
Slow it trickles down
And invites it in
Gently groping
It comes to light
Crawling from the dark
Well of blackest night
Eat me, arachne
Crawl under my skin
Weave my luck and faith
Eat me from within
Its thin limbs
Cast thinner shadows
Flaws in innocence
Of spirit and soul
Coming closer
I’m mesmerized
Its frightening grin
Leaves me agonized
Eat me, arachne
Crawl under my skin
Weave my luck and faith
Eat me from within
