“There are spiders whose bite can cause the place bitten to rot and to die, sometimes more than a year after it was bitten. As to why spiders do this, the answer is simple. It’s because spiders think this is funny, and they don’t want you ever to forget them.”
– Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys

Brushing lightly against you, a breeze carrying your seeds
Alighting on me, travail of my soul just to begin
Fire burns the course of nature through my primal veins
Caught now by the spider silk of your trouble
I feel the pull of your bite sinking my soul into rapture
Your many hands finding their way, using my body
Your many eyes seeing everywhere I hide
My escape now wound in your lair, wander lust begins
In circles you lead me, my mind numb with senses raging
