don’t we all wonder
how spiders get in
build a home and live
under our noses for so long
dining on flies and things that
fly annoyances of our lives
who default into dark corners
where woven traps are laid
maybe the next time you find one
in an unexpected shaft of light
don’t destroy the silk with disgust
give them a chance to find
a new darkness and hunt
what we can’t or won’t in the light
let them work the midnight shift
while we worry about
the exquisite webs
of our darker dreams
