just a drawingcharcoal on a piece of paper
a butterfly flits over hills
that spider calls out to me
into its parlour
the lovers that we are
together we make shadows
oblivious to the fact
we have been immortalized
in this yellowed paper
"when the rooster enters it,
I almost resent its presence
what does he see that I can't"

"together we made shadows" is the line contributed by Mallery. I changed made to make.
