Spiders

Busy today, so one from the grab-bag.


















Spiders climbing
One, two, three.
Like most creatures -
Hes and shes.
Take a look, though
Carefully.
Tell me what it
Is you see.
Which one is
what? - You tell me.
Nature likes
Androgyny.

Shining

Shining like a half moon in deep night
Pale light skims along a leg
Deepening shadow at the cleft
A finger of light touches a rise
Not light like a feather
Strong like a human finger
The illusion of pressure
A current of air whispers past
Fine hair rises, electric

A Man

Sarah got herself a man
A man to work her land
He plowed the fields
He improved the soil
He planted some seed
That man worked hard
