Crawl
1.
Slither like a snake through
the burning of the day.
Find a hole to hide in
like a Spider sets a snare.
2.
Sea into which lions roll.
Birds spill into the overture.
3.
Birds held close their light.
Cicadas sang the night.

Note. Aussie has a Spider named Trap door Spider. It builds a snare in a hole in the ground. That is the spider to which I refer. Aside from the human kind that is.
Hello Rory...
Cicadas are known to be an insect not Spider looking of different Broods...
They are a nuisance to new trees but, they're good for trees that are aged...
This year 2 Broods came together...
Weird huh?
Great and interesting write...
Thank you for sharing...

I would never harm one but I am not keen on them either .. I hear that Oz has millions of deadly ones, but then aint everything .. are they active between November & January when I hope to be down under .. Neville
Usual I don't like to explain my stories, though they are widely open to interpretation, but this character is not literary a snake changing into a spider. He's a man burning beneath the punishment of the sun and trying to escape it's rath. When he finds a home (a hole to hide in) he seeks to capture a mate, unlike the spider, who only wants to trap a meal for himself, this man means to capture a soul to eat! I like this idea. Thanks for reading, boys.
I get it...
😯
I wasn't reading this as a Black Widow situation...
BTW...
I am not a male/boy...
What is btw?
It stands for by the way 😁
This is an interesting poem, Rory. I knew there was something deeper at play but couldn't put my finger on it, until I read the comments. I totally get the poem better now. On the first readings I just thought, wow! Interesting pictures in this poem. Now, having read the comments, I understand it. No slight on your writing, btw, it's just that I'm pretty thick when it comes to metaphorical writes x
Maybe it's metaphor, symbolism. Not a original on either of the two. It sometimes takes a good third eye to read meaning, but mostly it's interpretation that rules. Trust your instincts, BM. They will show you the way.
