as yet untitled-

by Richard Trotter

Can we gently destroy
the infant spiders web
that grew too fast around me?

The shards grow into my eyes
roughly smoothed by your smile
digging deeper, the hole I began.

Snapping myself like a biscuit
I throw the longing wrapper
into the fire but it will not burn
