Found by an Arachnophobe
Dwindling, twisting, turning,
Until it is completely complete.
Now, beautiful relaxation!
Spinning spinning spinning...
Hearing the screech of a parakeet.
Hands slap amongst the screams, searching for me,
The shaking scares me to retreat.
I find my lovely torn home,
crumpled, ruined, and destroyed,
and so, I accept this day is a defeat.
