spider web
My writing group has been sharing writing prompts in this time of isolation.
The most recent prompt was ‘spider web.’
Took me an hour to find a spider photo since I am spider-averse.

spider web
~
web enlarges spider
her domain, her coefficient of creep
extends her occupation of space
~
trap for unwary
blue-bottle flies
beetles on the wing
and gnats, nattering
~
all of the cobwebs
I have brushed from my face
would not weigh a gram
but they take up
a fair chunk
of brainscape
~
just as the spider
is sensitive to vibration
my skin notices
the sub-threshold of touch
the tiniest occupant
of my domain

All my best,
