Two Fears, Anna Fullmer
I used to be just a ball.
Now, I am tethered to you by a fine, shimmering string.
How easily you could cut
me off—
While we sleep, spiders do arachnid acrobatics, flipping
into the holes of our waxy ears, dry mouths. We wake with
a strange sensation in our brains,
look into each other’s eyes and say:
good morning.
