The travels of the pale spider

The nearly white spider and I nearly collided

on the path from the library

The breeze carried her away a bit - then the nearly invisible thread

continued swinging back and forth

The pale creature kept hanging on - tightening her many legs,

then loosening them once again.

Curling and unfurling on her trapeze -

Her constantly traveling tight rope

I felt the pleasure and exhilaration the spider feels, I suppose,

Sunlight and air and just enough freedom.
