tense long limbs twitch feel
one eye open seven shut
a hunter waiting
Spiders everywhere. it’s definitely Autumn, there’s a chill in the air. This big wolf spider was claiming my £1 off Tesco voucher. I let him keep it. Not sure what he’d spend it on though.
Baby wolf strides,
Into neon, legs aloft,
Tasting the warm air.
This little fella (or lady) waltzed out from behind the television. I’d never seen a wolf spider so little before. They are usually the size of rats, bounding across the room and chasing the cat. They are feisty little buggers. This one was no exception, no shame, just sat there and posed as I took a photo. For the record, wolf spiders are beautiful. (Ps – it looks massive, but it was only the size of a small fingernail!)
