Spider's House

Frailest of all homes
is spider’s house ―
mmmllif we but knew.
It’s spun from dream

To tap the dew of our
short streaming lives.
And yet, though light
mmmll and air pass through,

There is sufficient strength
mmmll in that delicate
address to embrace
each creature it arrests.

A fact we
mmmlldwindling few
still deem
our duty to forget.
