The Stealth of Her Design – v2


In the early morning dewlight
the stealth of her design
the intricate lattice
exposed, revealed. Ribbons
concentric ovals
rays, lines radiating outward
all of her artistry
on a fleeting display
in sparkle, in wonder
before the warming
bleeding away of the fog
dewdrops into vapor
Her trap, her net
hidden once more
for unwary victims
just beyond
our bathroom window
