A Line of Thread – v3

a line thrown to catch
her breakfast, a snack,
if they came her way
not caring the kind or color
casting her net widely
a line to gather her prey

a trap of the angler
for the unsuspecting, the careless,
those not paying attention;
a single clear line of thread
strung by the fisherman
between flower and shrub,
a road for her to travel upon

a line cast for errant prey
caught in the sunlight
this Sunday morning
after the dew had gone to gas
out of the shadows
in the church courtyard
