Spider’s Web

Death Death Death Death Death
Entombed within
encircling strands

Death Death Death Death
The spindle wound
now
count
down
the breaths

In the spider’s web
Just consigned as nutrients
In the spider’s web

Thrashes to ashes
and shit to silk
Another soul 
distilled as mother’s milk

Round and round, round she goes
and where she lands 
the
end
of
black 

In the spider’s web
Just consigned as nutrients
In the spider’s web

Death Death Death Death Death
Come swift from the sting
outbid the acid

Zenzizenzizenzic
terror
raised and
reflected
infinite

In the spider’s web
Just consigned as nutrients
In the spider’s web
In the spider’s web….
