HOUR NINE

How inside and outside of the glass wall is different?
The roof of Doric Temple reflects
umbrella-shaped sunbeams
-a prism
or an embroidered web?

Monochrome or a Polychrome web- another chase
Queen Cleopatra’s cat watches a spider
weaving silken threads- to hypnotizes
snake in a basket of figs

A golden cat sleep on a velvet blanket
awakening her feline prowess
to control shadows and webs of deceit.

Spider, a sly sleuth

explores vacant spaces

adorning a labyrinth with her gossamer threads, unceasingly.

 

Inside a glass wall castle- Rapunzel tangled in its own web.
