Bugs

Unfurled from my web, he meanders,
Sidestepping my venom en rout.
I want to spit, but cannot
Want to pounce and devour,
But cannot.
I know your games, your sly little exit
Through the side exit.
You melt into the shadows,
Scampering like a roach
In my kitchen,
When I’ve turned on the lights.

Be a coward, slip away.
Keep it easy, baby.
Cradle yourself…
Be what you need,
Because I know,
I had you in my web,

and I didn’t eat you.
