SPIDERWEB

Gossamer 
song;

weightless 
aubade;

terse canny 
stanzas, clad in 
dew-clotted thread—

even your maker, 
her highness, 
is frightened 

by the ticklish 
recitation of this
ravishing poem, since 

she knows 
in her soul where each 
filament came from,

yet maintains 
no awareness 

of how it 
got made.
