You move like a typing hand
\nthat\u2019s been removed from its appendage.
\nEach crafting leg steps
\nwith the delicate dexterity of walking fingertips.
\nI imagine you along my spine,
\ncresting upon my distracted shoulder;
\nand without looking to find her,
\nI could mistake you for my lover\u2019s touch,
\nfor I am easily deceived by the webs you spin.<\/p>\n
It is your predaceous composure that I admire most.
\nLaying traps that serve you well,
\nyou do not mind the wait.
\nPatience suits you. <\/p>\n
Connections are drawn by your filaments spun,
\nAnd throughout the treetops your tapestries are strung,
\nCollecting dewdrops that capture the sun,
\nNature\u2019s mandalas waiting for the insects to come.*<\/p>\n
