spider senses
fertile of thought I crawl
into your mind
where I breed
frightening your ego

Spider
The spider moves along
Forever weaving
Her web
Of deceits.

spider silk
crawling through your nightmares
I emerge in chaotic thought
weaving silken dreams
with which to carry you away

wet shadows crawling
Don't worry
I'm just trying to get out of the rain
the shadow nightmares
are all in your head

Look up in fear.
Down in envy.
Beautiful,
All would be
With understanding.

Black Widow II Mother of Spiders Competition
It burns inside me
My grandmother’s blood
That of a black widow
Looming higher
Always stalking
Waiting
To strike again

Looming higher
Always stalking
Waiting

With my many eyes I see everything
My legs extend and reaches everywhere
