Arachnid

From June 8:

A quiet evening on the porch - new cushions, new pillows, wrapped in a light throw. Listening to the birds settle in for the night, and suddenly realizing their songs have finally stopped. Watching the bat do circuits above the front yard, wondering if the chipmunk will find the seed I put out for him. Moment ruined by a big-ass spider moseying down the porch post and towards me. Both of our evenings ruined: mine by his appearance reminding me that the porch is also the domain of the 8-legged, his by the weight of the citronella candle I trapped him under.
