Severance

I dreamt of a spider

harmless enough

who watched me bathe from afar.

I didn't mind his presence

He was still distant

But he took a step closer to me

So I put him back in his place far away,

But he kept crawling back nearer to me,

So I pressed my thumb against him and the wall.

I dreamt of a spider

who was harmless enough.

I, however, was not.
