I never meant to brag

He is the most dangerous

And interesting species on planet earth

A fine-tuned combination of fish and spider

Some might say he’s a monster

Some might say he’s a rebirth

Of something ancient

And quiet

He spins the web
The web that we all know

That intricate web of beauty

And deceit

And malice

But it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

Something that causes awe

A twinkle in my eye

An ever twisting knife in my heart

I am that fly

Whose gorgeous wings flutter maniacally

Feet and arms trapped in the

Glowing, tumultuous haze

That has caught me off guard

And led me down the path toward death

It’s a death that I’m torn about

My wings tell me that I can fly

I can fly far from this place,

Away from any other webs

And live the happy disgusting life of a fly

But at the same time

I like the touch of this web on my furry legs

The way it shines against my dark and dull body

How the iridescence of it makes my eyes shine

And yet, it brings me closer to my

Surrender

His mouth is filled with sharp objects

They click when he speaks

A symphony of peace and war

The writer unwritten

The man who is a contradiction to himself

In every possible way

This confuses and distracts his prey

For they don’t know which side to believe

Is it the peace that he loves?

Or is it the death that he brings?

That clicking drums through my little fly head

Misunderstanding his language

Misunderstanding his actions

Perhaps he’s moving toward me to eat me

Or embrace me

Nature would say the former

But that’s not what the fly likes to believe

So she’ll sit and wait for the unnatural embrace

As poison sinks slowly through

The veins that will soon

Feel nothing more than

The dull throbbing of a heart

That will soon forget to beat
