RETALIATION 14 July 1986 Arachne empowered and powerless consumed him and then consumed him and afterwards walked away but the further she walked the more she digested him and each infinitesimal part of him reached each infinitesimal part of her and she carried him past Death for his mind exploded hers. - Owl |

wow! don't know for sure that I understand it as it was intended, but I love it! You have a powerful way of setting up an emotionally charged scene! |

Thank you so much Midnitesun and RedstoneEB. This was a reply/retaliation to the following poem written TO me (and he wasn't my husband, nor did I have one then): DIE SPINNE 1985 Reincarnated Arachne willfully but fully within nature's laws crafting a trap for unsuspecting (or unheeding, inattentive?) prey and other snacks like peripheral husbands (a snack after duty done) devoured by jealousy kept faithful by consumption Arachne waiting each night she snares the moon each morning she traps the sun. - JK His poem was most uncomplimentary to me and accused me of devouring him. Mine to him said that although I may have devoured him, in doing so, he became part of me, and I adored/admired/was-in-awe-of his mind so much, that it exploded mine. All the poems I have posted recently were to the same guy. - Owl |

"the further she walked the more she digested him and each infinitesimal part of him reached each infinitesimal part of her and she carried him past Death" Very powerful work Diana. |
