The Fly and The Spider

A spider stalking a fly on an ice flow.


The Fly and The Spider


spiders
skate
useless
legs
collapse beneath.
hairy
legs
spread asunder
slipping
ice
flows beneath.
the
fly
inches
forward
as its prey
slips
slides
with
no release.
as
the
spider
sits
and waits.
as
the
fly
contemplates
his death.

Interesting piece. Dark and moody...as I am sure it was intended. Very subtle but effective imagery.
