A spider hangs from my memory

a web of

childhood

memories

hangs in

my little mind



a net, a see

through net

a realm

of filament

hangs in

a little quiet

corner

of my little mind



the world

may fall

but its angel

will always

be in its

own world

a monk in

meditation

except when

the unkind wind

cuts into his home

and makes holes

broken strings

floating, dancing



a little spider

fully round

at its abdoman

would then

put some life

into this quiet

world in my mind

an industrious

man - legs,

mouth -

busy like

a machine

get his

spiral home

into shape

and as patiently

swims to the centre

to sit as king



every intruder

shakes his home

to remind him

it's time for

some exotic raw meal
