cw: violent imagery

The crow with bile feathers swoops upon the stele,
crying that it's sick of holding up the moral high ground
for someone's victimhood,
only to be trounced, the fruit of worms stolen from its beak
when its spine cracks or its eye bursts into pomegranate seeds.

You do not speak of hard feathers,
those strange things that run
like rivulets down a rooftop,
there -- upon the breeze,
directionless wind vane
and your leather-worn ideals there
becoming a quill
becoming the ink-coloured sun.

Daddy Long Legs are more closely related to crabs than spiders and somehow the idea of crablike creatures with spider legs that have escaped the entrappings of the primordial sea and now crawl over land and can walk up and down walls and ceilings creeps me more than I can adequately describe.
