i sit on the patio

and watch the rainbow threads glisten in the sunlight.

i can not see the whole web,

only some lines of striped weft –

enticing, glittering.

sometimes,

(code for today)

 i feel like all i can see is the aurora at the top of the stairs,

i am bereft and left on the first step

and can not see the steps in between.

It is then that i see the very small spider in the corner –

and remember – She has built the whole thing.

It is the light that lets me see it.
