Untitled<br />
We call her<br />
the Wolf spider<br />
the one who<br />
tucked me into bed<br />
most of the time.<br />
The Wolf Spider<br />
who held my hand<br />
when I was scared<br />
sometimes.<br />
Wolf Spider<br />
said good-bye to me<br />
with no pause—<br />
no hesitation.<br />
I saw a wolf spider<br />
in the corner of the room<br />
Hiding—<br />
from me?<br />
I did not hestitate<br />
when I ground my heel<br />
into its body<br />
I thought of my Wolf Spider<br />
and smiled.<br />
