I spin a new web every night- br repair and replace the damaged parts. br My eyes (too many of them) br watch from different angles. br I have no bones; tough skin protects me. br People are repulsed by me, yet fascinated too. br br br I lurk in the periphery, br jump forty times my body's length, br accept a fly before I mate- br Do I repulse and fascinate? br br For my babes a silken sac, br A foundation line, br a bridge, a hub, br I crisscross threads -a labyrinthe. br I am Myself. Can you relate? br br To the top of the lamppost I climb br spinnerets in the wind- br It's sublime! br My blood, when I bleed, br is slightly blue.
