Mercy
–Rudy FranciscoShe asks me to kill the spider.
Instead, I get the most
peaceful weapons I can find.I take a cup & a napkin,
I catch the spider, put it outside
and allow it to walk away.If I am ever caught in the wrong place
at the wrong time, just being alive
and not bothering anyoneI hope I am greeted
with the same kind
of mercy.
