Spider 1

By Parson Thru

Tue, 28 Jan 2020
  • 372 reads
 

Spider crouches in the corner of her web

 

Seething in her lived-in putrefaction

 

Caught in her own routine

 

Inventing new realities

 

From trembling threads

 

Corruption roils within

 

Cocooned husks betray her

 

Daylight has no business here

 

Where poison taints a foetid world
