Today

I used to be friends with a spider but I don't see him anymore.

I don't need him. Now I have other things, like dim mornings where I curl up like a fist in the warm of my bed. I have my shoes and socks. I have haircuts and Trying. 6am.

Things are much better now I've made the whole world nice and tidy, Sweet and gentle, pushed neatly into a little ballerina music box. thank god I don't get so scared these days. 

And not because I'm hollow I don't do that anymore

But because I've filled my heart with Love and now I see it on the bus and I taste it in the foam of my coffee

And it's almost always this way.   But today I spent 1pm wrapped up in spider's silk, Sticky and slow 

And as I bit down on the needle

the thread trailed out and got all caught in the web

So thank god I'm strong because I don't go there anymore.

he isn't 

Thank god I've

Thank god

Thank god Without that lousy spider hanging around

all that's left of  me is love.
