The dinky corner spiderweb
Has a faint new mildew shimmer.
Too bad, it shows no sign of life
Beyond just hanging in there.
I try to think. Grappling with thoughts
My heart can’t come to terms with,
I’m scatterbrained at best, namely
As solitary as I’m meant to be.
But here’s a tiny spider on the run
As if from prodding. You, too! Well,
I may be sealed inside my grave already,
But what got you this deep inside the KGB?
It’s good for me to have the two of us here.
We’ll perish as a pair and rot together.
In my extended dark confinement,
I can’t tell what the time is;
Probably dusk by now.. Still all right,
When spiders show while there’s some light.
