Week 20

by Cameron Bieganek

 

The orb weaver, legs fluttering like

knitting needles, prances down her net

(cast across arugula),

to the fly knotting thread upon thread.

“Hush now,” the spider says. “Nothing matters

and that’s the beauty.” Meanwhile

garter snakes and garden toads whisper to Spring:

Flower soft, thanks for daffodil you.
