Spider at Play

( for Jacquie )

the sun is setting in england
i should be writing (essays)
but instead i'm mesmerized by the sky
wisps of white clouds, traces of jet tracks
streak across the horizon
a single thread of luminous spider silk
sparkles and dances

how does a spider build a web
three storeys above the ground?

i can feel the warmth of the sun's rays
streaming across my desk
tempting me to toss aside the tasks
and come out to play
