I awoke with a startle

Eight little legs

fell in my lap

I don’t remember having a mosquito net

Sparkles all over

a schrilling scream

my eyes so big

swelling like waterfalls

Harry and ugly

the vision stayed

nightly nightmares

they’re all around my bed

no way around

No hole to escape

tiny tarantulas

Smiles on their face

Fear followed

I close my eyes

just to wake up

A Dream ..
