"Black Widow " by Deena Warner

"Arachne" by Gina Wisker

Come, my sweet new love
let me
bid you welcome!
To the possibilities of so much
Delight.
Fine, refined, exquisite—
You should come closer now—
enticed by this lady
in red.
Closer and closer—
how I need you to—you
will find
the delicacy and the desire
intertwining.
Arms around me.
A slow dance perhaps.
A slow and eternal 
embrace.
Closer now.
Your hands.
My back—
Luxuriating.
My cool skin.
The slightest bite.
My fine web.
