to the spider in the crevice/behind the toilet door
-janet sutherland

i have left you four flies
three are in the freezer next to the joint of beef
the other is wrapped in christmas paper
tied with a pink ribbon
beside the ironing table in the hall
should you need to contact me
in an emergency
the number's in the book
by the telephone.

p.s. i love you

I love it. I have spiders in my bathroom and bedroom that I'm intimate friends with.
