I’ve decided to hold quiet
counsel with the spiders.
Their webs are skeletons
of survival. They rest and hang
sensitively there. A small breeze may shake them for a moment
But they take a philosophical pose:
a stance against disturbance.
They are there
just to listen.
They are there
just to hold
life, its essence:
so they have more time
to live in the heavy
halls of my home.

I love this. I can see a spider contemplating life and how to get into the heavy hall of your home as she sits in her web. :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Reading this makes me think of a spider as not just a scarey creepy thing....maybe I should be more rational about them and not so creeped out! I like that!
