exotic spider skims your skin
milky fangs sting as he sinks them in
precipitation on your brow
think you're feeling better now
he shows you a new way to begin
But he'll never let you win
more than point 8 of what you give
It's a sad strange way to live.
feel the skin turning to leather
fit to ride all kinds of weather
'out a helmet or a coat come on I'll show you my boat
tell me what makes it float
heavy as zeppelin or lighter than air
seems to help if you don't really care
but there's not much point to flyin
(in a subterranian supersonic subcontinental seismoclonic sexy flyin machine (of superfluity) )
trust the stars that shift beyond control
relativity takes its toll
absolute point of reference in your soul?
find me
find me
find me
find me
bind me
bind me
Blind me
with your harvest light
as your enigma scatters threads of night
ploys to take it higher
set me on (flame sound)
set me up
turn me over
let me take you downstream
('hey') don't let them... ('stop!' barking) ..higher

i liked the first part, but the rest...?
what i'm trying to say is that it's... all right.
the spider part was dark and lovely!

This was very awkward and a bit confusing. I'm not even sure what to say. The way you wrote it is amazing, but I became totally lost, lol.

Nah, you got it. (doesn't mean a whole lot. Just about feelings, so didn't fully get it myself.)

This is strange, I'm not sure I fully 'got it' but it's really, really good. Screen name?
Let it be,

This was a really interesting read, not sure I completely 'got it' but the language and imagery you used were very compelling and made the poem flow along really well.
Thanks for sharing.
