Forgotten windows and doors.
Rotten Wood
and
Rusty keyholes.
Spider webs and creepy crawlies underfoot.
Dare I peek behind the vined curtain?
Afraid to see who is watching me;
My legs shaking and betray my steady hand.
Hearing the echoes of heartbeats as I stand
Still and hold my breath.
Has time been forgotten
Here
Or is it merely waiting motionless
In the veil of between
Aching and remembering touch?
I was so
Mesmerized by the beautiful
Web you created,
The false delicacy
Bringing me in closer.
(I failed to notice you were a spider)
The way mornings birthlight sparkled like fine crystals on the dew,
The way
Your crafty design shown like a rainbow,
Kaleidoscopic.
(I knew you were a spider)
A comforting touch and hypnotic gaze.
A weaver so gifted and true to your desires.
I did not realize I had become immobile
And transfixed.
(I forgot you were a spider)
