went and gone and done another one

this one is called "Razorwire faces". it's the third of my stories about spiders.

in floating mazes of

glistening white,

razorwire faces smile

left to right.

pinprick eyes and

barb wire jaws,

shattered legs

and needle claws.

they scratch along

the hairs so thin,

they pierce through

the human skin.

Within the walls of

human flesh

they slice the veins

the blood runs fresh

razorwire faces

have their fun,

eight long legs

and space to run.

Through the heart

and through the tongue,

through the mind

and fingers long

spider scuttles

rictus grin

shattered teeth

with glass within

razorwire faces

know your here

reading this

you have no fear

but beyond

the windows high

darkest spots

the faces lie

Look! Behind!

What's that you see?

Something white?

Something free?

Needle legs

across your back

pinprick itch

and shivers slack

never fear

the spider's song

they're not about

for very long

but as you sit

and as you sprawl,

through your veins

the spiders crawl

razorwire faces

stare from you.

Look at your grin -

it's needles too.
