The Stealth of Her Design – v7

In the faint early-morning dew-light

the stealth of her design

the lines and connections

the intricate lattice illumined

revealed, exposed.

Ribbons, threads, whirls,

concentric ovals, tangents

covered in the whisper of the dew

each connected, a pattern,

rays, lines radiating outward;

All of her artistry, visible,

in a fleeting display.

Before the warming

the bleeding away of the fog

dewdrops into vapor, waking day;

Her trap, her net, fading,

hidden once more in the daylight

ready for her prey

her breakfast, her trap hidden,

just beyond, outside,

our bathroom window.
