come with me
and you shall see
a play, of sorts, begin
about
the rather splendid spiders
living
just beneath
your skin
the ones who
make their nest
below your flesh
and skitter
'cross your bones
oh! and
every
second tuesday
I pay a visit
to their
home

how we
laugh & drink
and drink & dance
and then we
drink some more
though their red
refreshing carpet
makes for
a rather sticky
floor
we accessorize
with arteries
with veins
pressed partially
flat
why where
did you
suppose
I found
this oddly
charming hat?

and to think
I'm only
one
of their
many guests
for lunch
your body
is a hot spot
the spiders are
a social bunch
and so
my scrumptious morsel
though I can not say
quite when
sleep tight
and rest assured
I will be seeing you
again

the preview image is a fantastic collaboration between ~nico37 & *tankgirl3366.I was so struck by it that, within half an hour of seeing it submitted, I had this poem scribbled.

luckily, the artists were kind enough to let me use their image and share the poem with you. you can check out the original sedwick here: [link]

(please) check out AND add both of the artists!


if you like this collab, try this one: [link]

"make their nest
below your flesh"

sent me into shivers. Creepy, but so cool. :)

Where sorrow meet a silver resolution,
Where sunshine's gentle and refrains its rays,
Where there is no darkness--only shadow--
That is where I wish to spend my days.
:iconmorethan-worldover:
The flow is just :heart: And it spins the most awesome story for this illustration too.

oh my goodness, this is wonderfully horrifying. It has a bit of a childish vibe, but is so disturbing too. Nice work with the mood.
