The Spider

This is a guest post by Taylor Graham. I want to thank Taylor as always for her fantastic poetry. Happy Halloween everyone. SPIDER In the paved garden of the courtyard by the gilded fountain where we sat listening to poetry into autumn dusk and then dark, when outdoor lights came on, one corner lamp illuminating a web, and in its center, the orb-weaver, abdomen gold-amber in the light spinning out its thread catching words and lines and images in a silken weave – bright poem-moths in a perfect orb, energy suspended in light, winged tension gilded by the crescent Harvest Moon.
