SPIDERS

Spiders

 

As he sat in the dark .
He smiled .
And all the while .
The walls and the ceiling,
smiled back .
It was their little secret .

Although the coke can was empty ,
he poured out another Vodka anyway 
Back went his head
As it slid down his throat .
Put the fire back in his belly again .

When he opened his eyes,
the spiders were gone
Only four hours,
and a quarter of a bottle left.

 

Would the spiders get him before Dawn ?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My house is full of totally real spiders. Of all shapes and sizes.They live peacefully and undisturbed by me.
My motherin-law however has a fear of spiders.
I also sometimes occaisonally indulge in the odd tipple of Vodka.

We all have fears, real or imagined, and we all deal with them differently. This poem shows us a very bleak scenario but, unfortunately, all so true in many cases. Well done. Kris
