*I do not like spiders…*
Or …
*What in blazes have I done?*

I do not know any of you
Yet we pretend to be friends and lovers
Til one of us opens their eyes and discovers
You don’t know me, I don’t know you

The things we describe become us
Reality here, becomes slightly skewed
We’re hiding something else, behind our attitude?
I am me and we all are us

Cyberspace, a web with holes
Like flies we are stuck in his fibers
Giant spiders lured us, ‘human flesh imbibers’
I am stuck... Who will rescue me?

Comprehension, fully blossomed, I wait with shallow breath
Spiders creeping ever closer, signal my imminent death

unbalanced

yes that would describe
my check book
checking on my
equi
librium... somewhere in a
library or is that lithium..
or
a mythical unmasking
of tiny tentacles
they reach
and pull and gently scratch
their fingertips
quite raspy and I shudder
as I clasp
my thoughts entangled
in a weblike
platitudes do me no good
its
understood
when tightly woven, we can't
escape
her
oh, the vision
tiny uvula is hanging
dangling in her throat .. slobber
(does a spider slobber?)
have you ever
been that close?
oh
my I have to let this
go
dangle as my feet go
numb
I am humming
something softly hope to give
her indigestion
and now you only
see reflections of the one I used
to be
I am her
and she is me
the transformation
now complete
Update: oops..! oh well, it is a poetic license thingy... sorry if you guys don't see the twisted humoR

She said it
slipped off her tongue
rather
like a knife
it cut him
everything got mixed up
blood mixed with
tears
they became ..nothing
wind whispering indecencies
playing tag
with their emotions
blame it on?
shut my mouth
hold my breath
listen....
come on... listen?
shhhh..
not a word
the sun goes down
crushing
as love seethes
on the ground

He and I tangoed
with out getting tangled
too much
my dress clung to my hourglass figure
(not)
and I had slipped out of my red stillettoes
and was light on my feet
he kissed me..
whoa
I had missed that for decades
or so it did seem
as I stretched the seams
On this flimsy red gown, and I let him
Melt on my mouth
gently like lovely
dark chocolate
I frowned a bit
as I had thought to nibble
away on him gently
until he succombed

tap dancing
tap tap
tap tap tap tap
tapitty tapitty tap tap tap
I will do a tiny dance
in your lap lap lap
if you clap clap clap
just don't squash me ..please?
I am dancing oh and
glancing at you
from my pretty eyes... I conspired
I desired to be in a web
tonight
instead of hanging from the moon
I hang here in your living
room .. and
your perfume is making
dizzy me
for goodness sake
I sleepy be
so ... tap dance on eight small legs
small hairy little
spidy legs...
it begs of you to love me too
if
only I could dance with you
but let me
wrap you in my threads
no do not dread it
I am kind
I will wind you very tight
and kiss you
kiss you
sweets
good night....
I do not
bite....
turn out the light....
heheheheheheheheheeheee!
you are now
with me...
for eternity!

had an unexpected death in my family
my sister two years older than me
she died quietly in her sleep (CHF)
when she was 16 years old she went into a diabetic coma
in Vancouver airport, her guardian angel in the form of an airport attendant saw her condition called an ambulance and got her to the hospital, where they kept her for 10 days. She had been flying up to Stewart BC to stay with my eldest sister and her two boys.
That was my first trip to Canada -my first taste of that country and an adventure as we drove up to see her in the hospital and then on up to Becki's - the road into Stuart was one lane
water below (far below) and a rock cliff beside us, if you met a car one of you had to back up. Luckily we did not meet one.
At that time of year, it was daylight all night long ... and very strange to me... we were on the border of Alaska so drove across to Hyder and explored a bit
I tend to reminisce a lot
it helps me to deal with her loss - remembering our past
not one of us is invincible
not even Francine
but when a spider like her dies, she leaves a lot of off spring and at least one of them will follow and put on her shoes and fedora and charm you once again into her web
and as her dinner companion and mesmerized will become her meal - what a way to go

I do not visit this page nearly enough
but have other issues on the front burner
such as
massaging my muse
or letting her massage me
with 8 tiny feet.. tap-dancing a drumbeat
that only some can follow
there is a hollow place within
that needs filling
a need unsatisfied and cloying
to the surface of my brain..
the train has left the station
impatiently I travel on it
forward motion until perhaps
derailment comes
with all her ailments.

have a great hump day
and don't forget to smell the flowers
not just the roses
and just wink back if you see Francine
hiding in their brambles

I have a few copies of Francine left in my possession, it is no longer in print as I pulled it a couple years ago.
am thinking one day of putting out another book rather than a second printing of Francine. Keep her intact as is and introduce a whole new concept in poetry. (that has likely been done before) but in saying new concept - to be new to me and original to my writing style

Yay or Nay?
what have you to say ??? feedback would be appreciated
