pale velour dollops
killing spiders
with the wet off
their heads
juniper children
shedding their
summer hands,
ending aestivation
wrinkled backs
feeling the first

Haha thank you for the comment. I've since changed the title and revised the body:
The Vostok Station
pale velour dollops
killing spiders
with the wet off
their heads
juniper children
shedding their
summer hands,
ending aestivation
wrinkled backs
feeling the first
blight of
winter
and the old man
drinks his
coffee
“just as well”
he says, spitting
floods onto the
ground
his face twists and
leaves:
they will have
to go it
alone
Just as well.
