a tangled web
a crazed arachnid haunts my porch
amidst the scorch
of sweltering late summer days
shrouded in haze
the remnant of a tepid rain
nothing remains
but eerie signs of the deranged
exposed too long to heat and blight
who crave the lunacy of night
amidst the scorch, shrouded in haze, nothing remains
