there is a spider crawling up my back sending bite-sized shivers as he climbs up ascending vertebra i think of you and he makes his way to my thighs spilling rose hips perfume medecine of angels the drowning ache the tingling between my toes delirious drool language not meant for you to hear but meant for me to answer Trembling beneath this tiny mess of appendages and swoony eyes i can see your mass traveling through each season your soft tufts donning golden shimmers then glimmering at the dusk of white but i knew you when the bees knew warmth spitfire busy buzzing sweet melodies to the open flower fields but i knew you when your bones kissed your skin too tight before falling renewal and peachy light spiders making their homes in unfamiliar hiding places crawling hyperbolic a silly old mess
