Spider Girl


I have 8 skinny legs

Fragile as feather hairs

In a light breeze of a hazed sky

Migraine hangover

Lost connection 

to my solid self’s guts

Heartbroken for Glory’s moment 

I held the wand and the sword 

Before dropping them submerged

Under domestic dishwater 

Startled again by smirking threat

Retreating to imagination’s dystonic web 

Where dew collects in the fall 

Of the sweat of a summer dream
