Spider

I think some days are sit and watch days.  Rain helps.  It is interesting to me that on sit and watch days, I still think that productivity is called for.  As I was writing about the spider, I thought: but where will this end up, and what does it mean?  It seems the spider is having a sit and watch day too.  He (she) looked pretty healthy when I saw him yesterday.  I assume he is today as well.

There is a spider

Healthy, but really

Not large by spider standards.

He or she lives between the window

And screen.

The window

Is next to the chair I write in.

This spring it proved itself

The hummingbird chair.

Now it is the spider chair.

We have meant to get the screens fixed

For three years now.

There are holes

They allow spiders.

This one even appears

Sometimes

On the inside window.

I have a rescue cup

On the window sill but really

I have come to believe

He or she is not in need

Of rescue.

Last night it rained.

I see the water droplets caught

In the screen

The street looks like a green-washed watercolor.

The spider

Is nowhere to be seen.
