She grasps her white orb egg sac<\/p>\n
and runs for the cover of the rocks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She has a brood, unlike me.<\/p>\n
I envy her, resting in naturalness,<\/p>\n
a kind of being I do not know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I find her sisters hanging on to their own egg sacs<\/p>\n
inside a nest of warm stones.<\/p>\n
They hunker lower into the corners.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am torn between rescue and the work I must do.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I say, I am sorry.<\/p>\n
I am human, I can\u2019t just let things be.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I prepare for the extension of the human house.<\/p>\n
As long as I can, I will avoid the places with the spider moms.<\/p>\n
I hope, under cover of night, they might move to safer ground.<\/p>\n
I scratch at my ankle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She says, I am sorry.<\/p>\n
I am a spider, I had to bite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
