bisectional translateral
segments echoed sympathetically.

Eyes one through nine
snapped open

two through five cautiously
to see what was disrupting.

The fly (but what? half a fly?)

twisted and twirled in my web a
s the homunculus shouted,
and the hairs on my legs tingled in horror,

as I heard, “heeelp meeee!”
