Paul Ryan

This blue necrosis billows
yellow sails
on my skin,
on my shin some nameless
spider
bit.

And I long for the name of that spider.

Until I know her name,
her name is painful itch!

And oh, what I’d do to you,
spider,
who still chews that bit of meat
you stole from me.

Black Widow.
Brown Recluse.
Red Harridan.
Crazy Lucy.
Sheila the Shiv.

Mary...

Mary Spider, it was you!

We are made of our bloods.

And your spider’s blood is in me now.

It’s the cast I carry as I try to sleep.

Mary Spider, full of grace.

These days like eggs we carry.

First, night is bigger...

then sleep.
