I Am

by @kathleen-m-1

It trembles on a pedestal of glass and sand A single beam of light pierces through the emptiness to illuminate its shaking Its face of silver mirror reflecting light that disappears into the void Frost coats the edges in the most delicate web, it shimmers with every angle What odd eyes scan the depths of this isolation Endlessly black bottomless pupils searching tirelessly Eyelashes echoing arachnid origins flutter, meet and part Sharp angled cheeks cut through the stillness with ease A stillness of the mouth makes a parting of lips rare and foreign The eyes flutter closed Arachnid lashes meeting and locking The lips part Soft sighing escapes The lips craddling its birth
