The Spider

The Spider
e.webb

The spider : weaves his web at night,
under;
 a moons 
watchful sight 

the time when most ships
are harboured in sleeps bay
like the turning high tide,
retreats away, 
from the day.

 In hide, in sitting
 a octet of eyes are watching 
on a fore thought
 in the night he weaves his construction
 from the past day he draws 
his instruction. 

sets an anchor 
then outlays his plans
in his o' so spidery way.
then architects each thread
forth-hence and constructs for plans 
of a parlay.

spider in a mind
roused upon this verse 
is what each silk threaded line does say,

come the night; in this architects light

a silk dreamed web 
is weaved for day
