have left their tent.
They stayed there for several days,
making short forays
into the broader world
It’s said they’re born
knowing how to spin,
with the geometry
of their own span and cubit
expressed in perfect webs
that match their size
When I consider
the range and scale of life,
it strikes me as impossible
that things so small
can be so intricate
Yet it is so,
and maybe I’d do well
to step back from the snobbery of size
and seek to learn
from anything that teaches.
