A spider on a silken line latches onto the wind. Trusting to the safety of smallness, she braves the vast unknown. Her mind whirls with geometry, as the world slides past. She seeks a place where spiral cords may gather prey. Prismic threads, fused with sunlight, will weave a universe within a universe as hunger creates beauty and beauty creates death and death creates life for a spider on a silken line...
*cringe* spiders creep me out...especially if they are on me (or i walk into one of their webs aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL), but they are enthralling to watch. there is one spider i will hold--a daddy long legs (did you know, they are technically the most venomous spiders? their mouths are too small *thank God* to bite humans).
i like spiders as well as long as they are in a glass or jar I freak out when i see the unsheltered in that way.....I read a book toni morrison i think it was "Sula" where she incorporated a spider as one of the characters it was really good....anyway enjoyed your poem
thanks
