| I would brush the corpses of flies | B |
| from the windows they thought were escape | C |
| their sticky ugly vibrant bodies | D |
| shouting like dumb crazy dogs against the glass | E |
| only to spin and flit | F |
| in that second larger than hell or heaven | G |
| onto the edge of the ledge | H |
| and then the spider from his dank hole | I |
| nervous and exposed | J |
| the puff of body swelling | K |
| hanging there | L |
| not really quite knowing | K |
| and then knowing | K |
| something sending it down its string | K |
| the wet web | M |
| toward the weak shield of buzzing | K |
| the pulsing | K |
| a last desperate moving hair leg | N |
| there against the glass | E |
| there alive in the sun | G |
| spun in white | O |
| and almost like love | P |
| the closing over | Q |
| the first hushed spider sucking | K |
| filling its sack | R |
| upon this thing that lived | S |
| crouching there upon its back | R |
| drawing its certain blood | T |
| as the world goes by outside | U |
| and my temples scream | V |
| and I nbsp hurl the broom against them | W |
| the spider dull with spider anger | Q |
| still thinking of its prey | X |
| and waving an amazed broken leg | N |
| the fly very still | Y |
| a dirty speck stranded to straw | Z |
| I shake the killer loose | A2 |
| and he walks lame and peeved | B2 |
| towards some dark corner | Q |
| but I intercept his dawdling | K |
| his crawling like some broken hero | C2 |
| and the straws smash his legs | D2 |
| now waving | K |
| above his head | E2 |
| and looking | K |
| looking for the enemy | F2 |
| and somewhat valiant | G2 |
| dying without apparent pain | H2 |
| simply crawling backward | I2 |
| piece by piece | J2 |
| leaving nothing there | L |
| until at last the red gut sack | R |
| splashes | K2 |
| its secrets | L2 |
| and I nbsp run child like | A |
| with God's anger a step behind | M2 |
| back to simple sunlight | O |
| wondering | K |
| as the world goes by | N2 |
| with curled smile | O2 |
| if anyone else | P2 |
| saw or sensed my crime | Q2 |
