Golden Garden Spider

GOLDEN GARDEN SPIDER

She doesn’t sing like the cricket
She doesn’t fidget like the fly
She doesn’t flutter like the moth
She sits at the center —
       midnight black, October gold —
She sits —
       a stasis of abdomen and legs
She sits
        and waits
               for those who fidget and flutter and fly.

from The Blind Man’s Rainbow 1999
