The Arachnean waking may happen when the greater organism dozes.
It may feel line the sloughing of a corset. The stomach gurgles its release. The restrictive garment of man, maybe, or woman, is loosened.
The muscles under cheek bones release, the corners of the lips fall – the arachnean does not wear the permanent smile that aims to put the world (or someone in particular) at ease.
How like a man the arachnean is, and how unlike a man. The ideal of the strong, silent man, unfazed by the world, unperformative in his emotions, and yet, unlike the arachnean held together by rules and judgemental of those who deviate.
The calf muscle relaxing twitches and spasms gently, like many people are passing through it as a corridor or a tunnel, their shadows visible, the walkway shaking, the walls giving a little to the pressure of a shoulder pressed against it.
