I found myself somewhere inside on ground level
the windows were open
and I wrote poems
people stood outside
I closed the window and smiled.
relaxed I jumped back into bed
a black dog stood outside another window
I let him in
I never saw his eyes
all I could think of was how to avoid him
exhausted I let go and fell from the ceiling into his open mouth
and he bit me
after a while I realized the bites did not kill me
I let him continue
my body got used to his bites
and the marks vanished
the Spider smiled
you let him in, and then you tried to escape
your anxiety made your mind seem harmful
and now you know it is not.
she let him out of the front door
I went back
and I opened the windows
