he flung it suddenly
across the room
collapsing,
head in hands
sobbing, shaking


what life was this
correction fluid

doorbell

two wires

stick out of a wall
front legs
of a giant spider
almost comical

four legs
buried in the wall
forelegs
stick out
wiggling

two large eyes
follow you
around the room
fixed to the wall
fixed on you

two wires
poke out of a wall
intruding, disturbing
two wires
of a door bell

shiny metal
completes the circuit
and shuts out
the eyes
that constantly watch

box them all up

into the wall, sealed
along with everything else
get used to the ringing
till it no longer alarms.

mother

tired eyes,
everyday, yet
bright face

mother,
what would I do
without your smile
to return to

weakness

you apologise

and I say okay

even if I'm not sure

I want to 

those unforgiving

have it easier.
