Ariadne's Thread

I see the story night, before

my child like eyes

the sky looks like a giant web

the stars are trapped and have no where to go

in the spider's nest

I feel the sting

she comes for me

black widow

the red black color

painted across her back

the violent wraith

she forces down on me

did I come here looking for pain

was I enchanted with agony

how did I fall down into this sailor's trap

the light blinded my eyes

shall I fall

or watch you drown

the night shutters the key

like a coffin does the ground

deep inside

the ground my eyes

follow the lines to
