whenever you are alone and in the dark spiders fuck on your face

on the lesser horizons of eyesight the giants loom to half a millimeter

whenever you are alone and scared consider

the demodex who born with six legs wakes up having
genestatised overnight another pair consider

living his divot existence digging out

at sunset to wade oases of nose-oil and breed

consider mrs vermicula who makes her nests inside your pores
from webs of your dead skin and packs twenty odd ova

per follicle consider the lack of anus

and the faecal fireworks that celebrate the end of night

and existence whenever in the dark a breeze touches your cheek
know child that it’s just i god watching wormy spiders fuck

across your face and nudging my atoms together like eggs
