Blind Spider

Walk among the dead,
A sea of eyes,
Lowered, glazed, still, sad.

All caught in the web
Of deceit they spin,
Twisting, turning, crying, tangled.

I wonder if they see me,
One eye, a spark against the gloom,
Flicker, shudder, light, vulnerable.

Waiting for another,
A light among the dead
To join with mine
And help me see.

I'll do the same,
Sidestep the web

Continue on.
I am not dead.
Not yet.
