Hidden Webs - August 7, 2024

don’t we all wonder

how spiders get in

build a home and live

under our noses for so long

 

dining on flies and things that

fly  annoyances of our lives

who default into dark corners

where woven traps are laid

 

maybe the next time you find one

in an unexpected shaft of light 

don’t destroy the silk with disgust

 

give them a chance to find

a new darkness and hunt

what we can’t or won’t in the light

 

let them work the midnight shift

while we worry about

the exquisite webs

of our darker dreams
