Mistress Arachnid

Just having a little fun!

~Mistress Arachnid~
 

Good morning Mistress

 Arachnid!

Please…..don't be alarmed!

I had a dream of connection,

I will not do you harm

today, with the hard back heel

of my slipper, as I have done

 to so many of your kin.

Warily, I muse:

Do you know, do you sense my fear,

my secret sin?

What wisdom do you hold

in that tiny, gossamer frame?

What wonders do you meditate

as you cling to my shower wall?

Such stillness in your thready legs,

a buddhist would be shamed.

Would I be so serene

if some fleshy giant invaded

my place of worship?

Despite this grudging admiration;

I rinse my hair with one eye open,

just in case you're peaceful posture

is a clever ruse

and you suddenly jump for my jugular.

Vengeance for all your brethren slain!!!

You never move, never even flinch, and I'm relieved

as I reach for my towel. Pausing…

I feel I must leave you with this warning:

Find somewhere else to hold your services,

I pray. For we humans are a fickle lot

and should I find you here,

on some other day,

you may not find me so enlightened.
