Paths have been laid    far and short    narrow and wide    coarse and moist    brown from dirt    gray with asphalt. Spiders lurk and creep about    legs poised and fangs ready    craving another injection    to feast just a little    further, just a little       longer. We are the prey they seek    stuck in their strands    reaching everywhere we walk    catching us as we tumble and fall    not for comfort nor salvation    just the cold strings of wrapture    before the color of blood       the color of life    is taken from us.

Spiderweb
Paths have been laid    far and short    narrow and wide    coarse and moist    brown from dirt    gray with asphalt. Spiders lurk and creep about    legs poised and fangs ready    craving another injection    to feast just a little    further, just a little       longer. We are the prey they seek    stuck in their strands    reaching everywhere we walk    catching us as we tumble and fall    not for comfort nor salvation    just the cold strings of wrapture    before the color of blood       the color of life    is taken from us.
