Working on a new joint-project giving voice and illustrating my Haunted Childhood poems....

TEA FOR TWO

Let me go,
Let me go!
I cry

I struggle
In the web
Buzz my wings
Rub my legs

Let me go,
Let me go!
I cry

And closer, closer
Gentle as a lover
Spinning silk
Above her

Let me go
Let me go!
I sigh

She veils me
With silver lace
Deep kiss
Sweet embrace

Let me go
Let me go!
I die

Sleep, deep sleep
High cradle
Sweet deadly
Lullaby

“Oh come, come
Into my parlour
Said the Spider
To the Fly,
Tis the prettiest
Little coffin
You ever did spy.”


Manuela Cardiga
