160. The Rise of the Spiders

The daytime weather doesn't seem that much warmer
now that we've ventured onto the September grid,
but the nights don't lose as much warmth these days
without the hot barren sun beating down for hours.

The snakes have emerged, frightening, venomous,
spotted on the roads, in the rocks and low-lying bushes.
Paper clip-size spiders roam across the scenery,
my skin, all my things, almost clear webs trace
the paths of their eight delicate, irritating feet.
