The Fathomless Tale of Silky and Sam

Hundreds of legs ✭ laying millions of eggs ✭ something is crouched in the foam of my couch ✭ by the ticking clock with hands that never stop ✭ round and round countin’ it down ✭ talkin’ to the radio talkin’ to the radio ✭ spider creature I could feel her ✭ alien eyes in the velveteen night ✭ out of the black ✭ she jumped on my back ✭ she won’t go away ✭ I should be afraid ✭ on a full new moon ✭ never late and never soon ✭ round and round countin’ it down ✭ talkin’ to the radio talkin’ to the radio ✭ spider creature restless sleeper ✭ crawled through a dream ✭ down streets I’ve never seen ✭ the stories she told ✭ the empires of gold ✭ she traveled them all with a fly on the wall ✭ and they made quite a pair ✭ one by land and one by air ✭ round and round countin’ it down ✭ talkin’ to the radio talkin’ to the radio ✭ spider creature ✭ what will I feed her? ✭ pumpkin seeds and lavender leaves ✭ talking to the radio talking to the radio ✭ she’s the last of her kind to spin the web of time ✭ round and round countin’ it ✭ countin’ it countin’ it down
