Monday morning massacre

"there was an old lady who swallowed a spider that wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her" lol!

look up:

prying spider

slender feelers

orphean mouth

marching his trochaic verses of frigid duties

on a sensually variegated tile ceiling

 

stressed, unstressed:

lulling dance of predatory splendor

 

slender sticks of night beneath,

inch tall giant beast walks on woven pricks

dizzy prey worn and fallen

thimbleful, ocean full, belly full of warmth

 

look fast:

winged sister

buzzing whisper

empty chance

wasting anemic outrage on a final wail and wish

 

outstretched visions of a maggot, of a child, of a dream

taste of cake fluff

scent of morning

endless eyes of frozen time

 

in this flash of fevered frenzy

function forms a vicious frame

 

precious slaughter

wincing watcher

sip of coffee

moving on

I'm smiling... I've never empathized so closely with a fly before, her outstretched visions of maggot, of a child, of a dream taste of cake fluff...
and I stand amazed at your genius yet again - bet you whipped this one up before your coffee was cold.

your descriptions never cease to amaze me!! you inject such power into ordinary visions (a spider hanging around)!! I also like the play on form/structure techniques, them frigid trochaic verses, and them damned stresses haha nice!!

Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly..... Mental note "If Serial kisser invites you for coffee..............." As the others have said. awsomley crafted with impressive descriptive narrative.
