Graham Everett

LIKE THE SPIDER IN THE SKY

Death is not limited to coming from behind, to the left
but, like the spider in the sky, can get us from above
or even grow inside us all our lives until bingo -- poof
the world ends for another one of its many inhabitants

Passing right through the spider's web
-- which must be rewoven before sunset --
there's no stickiness on the other side!

And I am reborn in control of my temper
Emotionless, calculating -- a sly bargainer

Learning to forget one self, an endless trek
