it has been a strange week

of finding the new normal

and adjusting the adjustments

of webbing and spinning the

silk over and under 

somehow piecing together

the new faces with the old-

oh, familiarity

how tricky you are

and I think of summers past 

that I lived for, live for

and while the malaise 

was there, somehow

the summers are what

I hold on to-

and now the spider 

dashes to mend the holes

and the bumble bee flies on,

though aerodynanically it wouldn’t, 

but it does,

buzzing,

and the spider is quiet,

suspended

looking longingly

at the weavings of summers past,

her heart is heavy, her arms limp

and though she knows

the summer sun will warm

her frigid body, 

she cannot help but

sigh.
