Spider Babies

 
It’s been 5 months since
We’ve spoken
And I’ve been stirring it up,
It’s all in my head
I’ve tried to forget

A conversation with my husband;
Me: I don’t want spiders
in my room,
Should we do something?
Husband: no, when they hatch
They’ll all blow away

That spider out my window
She’s got babies
A tiny cocoon;
Like how I call my robe
When I see my bebe’s
Morning face,

My cocoon’s only for my
Littlest ones
I want them to remember
These silken warmseys threads
It’s what I have on

His words stuck with me
Because how could my
Spider babies
Just be things
That blow
In the wind
Without me.
