• Spider with your family tree of thousands of branches
    Spider weaving webs of danger and wonder
    Spider defying nature walking upside down
    Spider prickling the skin with each tiny step
    Spider striking shudders in those sixty-fold your size
    Spider preying on all, large and small
    Spider eaten by those to whom they do harm
    Spider like a widow granting her husband companions
    Spider like a recluse who attacks and abandons
    Spider amazing all of those who draw a breath
    Spider so majestic in life yet fetal in death
