No Rest for the Spider (Devil) or “SOME PIG”
by Sabrina Dawkins
My Father took the thread,
passed it through the eye of the needle
and sewed the word “CAMEL.”
But Charlotte spun a web
of illusions
to suck your blood
and trap your mind.
And next to her TV icons,
flesh puppets before your eyes,
is written “SOME PIG.”
The web of lies
drew a fantasy world
in which the greedy are stars
and demon possessed
before they run
down
a
steep
place
into the sea
and still have no rest.
