The Go & Get It

Spider

I was walking home from work the other day and saw a spider hanging in mid-air. In my mind, I knew it was hanging by a thin web…but it looked so magical I had to get a closer look. Here’s what I saw.

1–2 minutes

Spider 
Suspended from unseen string
Swinging, solemnly 

Surely somebody will swipe it
Surprised shriek
“SPIDER!”

Silently, I stalk 
Stealthily 
I see

Sweet sleeping spider 
Swaying on silk 
Swinging, solemnly 

I safeguard a swift second 
So long,
Spider
