yaintnoappleseed
he took her web when she last disappeared
after she reappearedmissing for several weeks an returned missing her foremost two left legs
appleseed lived in it for more
than a year which
boggled his mind
she maintained it
it was immaculate
he found her ditched mummies laying
on the countertop of the washbasin
her immaculate informed his
yaintnoappleseed as he called this clown clambered in one day ran off a smaller spider
an seemed content in its dissembling squalor
he couldnt imagine any
selfrespecting spider wouldnt provide a minimal due diligence the gaping holes an fraying hadnt the integrity
to trap let alone hold a soul
though sooner or later one way or
another hed depart
he wouldnt take any action
against him
it was just a matter of time
he missed appleseed
he particularly missed her when
he took hot baths in the evening under candlelight
she was intrigued with the
flickering flame
often he watched her descend from
the web an stalk the candle then withdrawing when she must
have felt its heat
shed take her sweet time
climbing back up to her corner asif she had been ambling out for a casual stroll
then she had fun articulating her legs throwing
odd shadows on the ceiling
he didnt imagine that
thats the way she was
the way it was
