YIKEs I hate spiders but this is woven very well....
"
This, not to mention
goo in synaptic passageways �
no wonder I can no longer recall
simple words, phrases. One spider dies,
and a hundred are born. What can it mean?
Are patterns, intricacies of design
labyrinth of sophisticated import
or mere maze of
confusion?"

Entricate description of that muddle-headed feeling I think we all get sometimes, especially as the world grows more confusing.

Ah yes, and the web is intricate
and it catches the muses. It is
a tangled weave yet the poet reigns.

Wonderful visual which is just what you so acutely describe here, Dawn. Having suffered long-term fatigue, I can fully appreciate that "cotton-wool" feeling between the ears and behind the eyes; all I can say is, at least you feel that there is some activity eating away in the grey cells - whereas all I feel is a sense of ash disintegrating into dust leaving... a vacuum! You have painted a very vivid picture for those who have NO idea what we are talking about - lucky them!! Very well done! Kate xx

the spiders of idea run rampant in your maze of perspective ... they converge on our thoughts with precision ...

Oh my, hate you have these little creepy things too. A while back I wrote about one of the members here who had problems with spiders in her brain. Go look, might make you feel better. The write even has one of my sketches.

Not trying to promote myself, just thought you would like to know more about spiders as if you don't have enough already. Take care.

Love your write, but hate those spiders.
