~ The Spider in Us

 

Doomed we all are...

There is just no way back,

It crawls in all of us, and eats us alive.

From our civil little cortex,

To the richer brain of history,

From a trillion years back, it speaks

To us, “to all of us” till now;

And yet, there is a cure,

A little one to keep so close;

A crawling cure, for sure;

A facing  fact, one but not to weep;

To love the eight-legged lover,

The paramour, of life, that deep,

Be ready to live and give your fear;

To the real black hairy creep

Ah... There's something about spiders that just... I don't know, make me all twitchy. Very well written and fun little piece. The picture compliments the creepiness as well. I also caught a little hint of double meaning as well, something about the human condition as being the thing that creeps. I don't know, all I know is that you have peaked my interest once again Elisa. Thanks, and keep it up! -J.L

Well I don't know about accepting spiders is actually a thing I want to do.....creepy crawly critters they are. An intriguing piece Elisa that's thought provoking to say the least...

I came to this after reading on your profile of the tragedy with your loved one... So here I am thinking of the preciousness of the mind, and how, like a spiders legs and feelers, this mind reaches across so many ethers, into real and unreal spaces, to find its own versions of reality...
And there is something here, the wording or mood perhaps, that makes me think of Sylvia Plath-- Ariel and Lady Lazarath...
Mysterious and yet right there, on the tip of my tongue, a brush on the edge of my mind, the richness and meaning of this... Delicious, dear Elisa!

Aaaah great review Sister, lol, well I'm restless... ;) had to come online. :) you know why, it's a crazy time. I love you so much. Thanks for being here, tomorrow I'm back for you. You got is with no doubt, as ever so so well love, you are unique in all you do, in your way of being, as we share our precious roots, it's amazing, I can't stop talking to you....

[Horizon K.]

Aww, thanks my sweet sis! I miss and love you too! Thank you always for sharing your poetries and thoughts with me! I must go eat some of our food and think of you!

[Great Aunt Astri]

What a wonderful poem. Did you ever read Charlotte's Web when you were little? Charlotte wrote on her spider web a message for a little pig. The message said 'I love you, Wilbur.' We have an innate fear of spiders as a human race so must remind ourselves 'to love the eight-legged lover'

Thank you so much Auntie, nope, I never read that one, for I'm Dutch... I'm not familiar with it... I should read it soon! :) thank you for being here.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

That was a wickedly fun poem… I thing our fears and regrets and the spiders in us that tangle our emotions in their webs till we are paralyzed and devoured.

Hah, thank you Dale. :) Well responce from you awesome!!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]
