Red Spider

[milo]

Any and all suggestions welcome!

spinning in my periphery
mirrors shine their
light on tangled dendrites.
Hiding in my hemispheres
behind my memories,
a shy creature.

Though you repel me
I can not resist your call.
Gifting me with sadness and gardenias
you steal my light.

Moving in obscurity,
taking shape, stretching neurons.
I hear you in the night.


Do not join me in my mania,
I will need you when the darkness falls.
Weave your web gently,
tread lightly on my matter.

I love a lot of this.
"Gifting me with sadness and gardenias" this especially.
The abstraction is a bit much at times.
Maybe replace "darkness falls"
As a whole though, it all seems to work quite nicely, a well spun web if you will.
