The Web

I am in awe of the spiderweb forming at my window

Spiders disgust me with a passion but

as I watch her closely I find that she is no

different from me

Capturing and eating her prey whenever she pleases

I am ill at our alikeness, it makes me shiver with

fever like I have some sort of infection of life

And everything is swelling and closing

and I am done

I will die in my own web in due time

but it will be some other larger spider who

will suck my heart out

and it will taste like loss

this is a really good one, i don't necessarily like spiders either but they are such fascinating creatures.
