spider survivor (j-blue 53: washing a mat)




         she thinks she is abandoned : a lost, tiny princess. She
         saw the others go, whisked
                                           away  on the mat
         where they all hatched -oh, fond
                                                    mat! gone now, and
         only this      lorn green bath room 
             wallto cling to  ,and this

       gnawing  hunger   in her belly.  -don't fall, little one

        of the yellow diamonds, little one of   the
             orange    and  black  (soft fur)  keep tight

                        to that barren lone wall

        for   you're the last  -i
                  drowned the rest.
