- W4376543567 abstract "Mostly now, I can't even kill what tries to hurt me Meghan E. Giles (bio) There's this spider whom I wantto write an elegy for, becauseI killed her, or not exactly—it waspremeditated, maybe. At the very least,I'm an accessory. I say shebecause she was a black widowwho was pregnant. Because she builta web inside a windowinside our greenhouse.Because when I showed herto my coworkers, they told me toget the spider spray and I did it.And the spray came downlike a shower does: you and all thatfog, waking up without knowingif you're still living in your body.Then when she wouldn't die,the men whom I worked with took offtheir boots, took turns poundingdown while I watched. And sometimearound then the babies spilled outand she stopped moving. I want to say somethingabout the way we hurt each other,but she hadn't hurt anyone. [End Page 129] What we were afraid of was a matterof could. That poison hung a littletoo long in our greenhouse.Past the point of comfortable, it lingeredon like bar smoke on bedsheets and a brightblue comforter, smoke in sheet clouds and a brightsky pillowing, a dazed coming-to then youwashing and washing and washing it. ________ And later, while clearingout the hoop house, I, gloveless, emptiedpots of soil and long-dead plants, so longdead they were unrecognizable,shriveled up like insides. I saw moreblack widows climbing all over that pot rubble. I want to say something also about howpoison enters and infects you,how it becomes a web inside with spiders spilling out,how that web becomes a window. But they hadn'tbit me. Wouldn't bite me. Not a single one. [End Page 130] Meghan E. Giles Meghan E.
