Spider

Catapulted through catacombs

Climbing

Cobwebs clinging 

Catching

Children comparing coffins

Clawing

Chimeras in mirrors 

and 

cinders in chimneys 

like angels ensnared

in glistening gossamer garland

stuck to the web by their hair

Sentenced to death by 

hanging

- halos hanged in the air

Annular Asphyxiation 

An act of attrition (Contrition)

As an example 

A suffocation (a supplication)

Lights slowly dim 

dying

Even the furthest of stars 

With the moon, wit begins to wane

Wilt 

Withered petals weathered 

and worn

Whirring while they fall:

Sighing silken spider songs

Tumbling thunderously

on tremulous

thin

threads

Stitch closed their eyes 

and

Their souls

Leave

Through their heads
