Insect.

I am the spider living
in the inseam of your curtain –
my neighbourhood is the space
between the sill and the window.

I am often stranded in your pillow,
an attempt to walk taller, insolent
toward number and age, so as
to not be eaten while you sleep.

I live off the insects that click
against the glass, before, exhausted,
die, tricked by promise, the
sealed off jar of sunlight.

I decorate your house with webs,
which embroider a halo over our lamp.
sometimes, when you take my gifts,
I catch you.
