the wind blew softly
as i let them in
slitting my torso wide
as i lay in the grass
without hesitation
the spiders crawled in
they all marched at the same pace
as if this were the plan all along
i could hear wolves baying in the distance
as the fangs of my assassins pierced
the pain was sweet and nostalgic
like a blurry memory, of a pain long ago
i tried to cry, i knew i should
but, it seemed that i was beyond tears
once the eggs were in place
the spiders left me
and i quietly sewed myself back together
so much time passed
as i housed my enemies
shuddering with anticipation and disgust
at what i was doing
i could feel them when they hatched
the strange tickling of a million legs
marching up my throat
pouring out of my mouth and nose
like a vivid display of death
when they left, i felt so hollow
so alone
empty nest syndrome i guess
but, the payment came soon enough
my extra legs began to sprout
a few weeks after the hatching
and soon after, my entire body morphed
into the shape that i had desired
my fangs were like ebony scythes
dripping venom far deadlier
than any i had spewed before
and as the transformation drew to an end
i made my first web in the woods
now, i wait, patiently
for some fool child or drunken hunter
to stumble into my transparent trap
my legs, all of them, twitch with anticipation
at the thought of my first new meal

| I'm kind of left speechless by this one. It's so twistedly beautiful. You have such a way with words. |
