Shadow

All eight legs hammered away alternatively

On the bright shiny tiles of the bathroom wall.

Then creepy creepy up and likewise down.

Then pause, and again, legs hammering on the crawl .

All eight eyes rolling up and rolling creepy down

The poor spider pounded away, attacking its foe

Till at long last it fell down, killed by its own shadow. 

Turn to the light, the shadows of fear disappear.
