Spiderthread

Spiderthread

This cool early morning
when summer is remembering autumn

a spider hangs busy
off the end of a twig;

it has plans: a thread
stronger than steel, it’s said

which runs out and out,
back and back

beyond the horizon,
beyond the creation of the world

into the mind of God.
