Under the Axe, The Spider Slept
I was a country dreaming of grass
you laid down next to me
gas can in one hand
lighter in the other
wanting to show me what violence looks like
gathered my thoughts
walked deeper into to the trees
you burnt my image in the grass
screamed out my name
burned through your throat
consistent with shards of glass
in the forest I met a spider
there is a man walking
carrying an Axe
destroys his home
the spider is crying
I would too
but I did not want to show him
I am more afraid of him
then he is of me
