On Fattening the Spiders
The flies are not
yet 
numerous, they
blunder 
through gaps in doors and
windows; 
haven’t got buzz
about them yet. 
What they lack in
speed 
they make up for in
cunning. 
The swatter comes
down 
to the left. Cha. Right. Cha. 
Left again, Cha-
cha-cha.

ReplyDeletehow naked the spider
as it lets down its prey
by ancient ropes and pulleys
and draws the fresh corpse out of sight
to take a first delicious bite
Yummo!
