june 10th, 2022 - the spider

the spider
perched in the corner
kept me company
as i showered

oh-
to be alone,
but not lonely
to be in the presence
of another,
and not be drained

my time is short
and though his is shorter
he spends his time
spinning a web-
creating art

what would he say -
if he could speak -
seeing me this
vulnerable?

-- i fear vulnerability

•••

didn't sleep well last night <3
i wish he would stop invading my dreams;
he already fills my every
waking
thought.

"her, because she makes life poetry, she turns every bit of it into art"
