Eric C. Harrison

 

SPIDERS

in darkened aisles rising
black against an indigo night sky
outrunning venomous spiders
biting at air yet hoping for flesh

dread becomes full blown when
the way is surely lost
still the worry wart keeps its pace
quicker than arachnid onslaught
not too far behind, shadows
falling forward, eyes
looking ahead see dancing
jet black forms on the ground
born in light behind

sleight of step grants
a moment's peace to be
found in a hidden alley
as split second self counsel

those in pursuit lose the trail
of the hunted
future conceived takes
the glow from the past leaving
web weavers to drop

able to walk
safe now with danger
at bay the skyline scanned
reveals buildings of old
solid foundation bearing ancient
architectural hieroglyph seen
by many, read
by few, understood
by less, experienced
by all

no solid reading
just a feeling with a dash
of "a person forgetting
the past is destined
to repeat it" so

look towards the later times
leaving 8 legged death in
long gone years to die
or weaken
as memory

Eric Harrison is a chain smoker who likes to fish and who takes his artwork very seriously. He strives to capture his vision by choosing the right media to express each thought or perception. The bulk of his creative work is that of a moody musician, painter, illustrator and poet. Much of what he does represents misanthropic depression and the darker, uglier aspects of the human psyche as well as the delusions that preoccupy his excessively paranoid mind. Some of his music, song lyrics and visual arts appear on CD's produced by his own and several other underground bands. Many of which have been sold and distributed worldwide. His most recent written work appears in The Rockzillaworld Americana Poetry Cosortium and the Third Lung Review Issue #32. When he isn't "being an artist" (and quite often when he is) Eric spends time alone or with his dog and is usually found brooding over paranoid theories or wandering the woods and salt marsh near his home in Lynn, Ma.
