The Daily Boost #589

There's a spider in the kitchen!

EVICTION NOTICE
Erika Seshadri

oh.
there’s a spider
in the kitchen

where pale honey wall meets
whisper white ceiling
above the fridge

daddy-long-legs
on a derelict web

condemnable

sir, your eviction notice
is pending

I apologize.
this is no sanctuary

but thank you for
eating that fruit fly

now, out you go
to grand adventures

on the porch


(My thanks to Erika Seshadri via The Dewdrop.)
