\nThe Changeling Spiders<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nborrow their skull-heads
\nfrom fairies, who leave them
\nin corners, to spin out earthly
\nimaginings of themselves,<\/p>\n
\nbent-thorn legs, a
\ndance they were born to
\nexecute softly. Their webs
\nare dirty grey chains,<\/p>\n
\nin each room, they take
\ntime to break, grow back,
\nare stubborn, hold me
\nunclean, ashamed.<\/p>\n
