SPIDERS #5: THE WORD IN THE WEBS

SPIDERS  #5

THE WORD IN THE WEBS

(for Cassidy Gannon)

I think

the word

has gotten out

EZ Weaving @ 939

Safe Spinning @ O.G.’s

because

front

back

&

side

of house

have been

festooned

webs

in

numbers

not encountered

in the past

Foolish arachnids

have not taken

into account

Regina

Queen of my Heart

whose heart

does not

beat loudly

for the spidies

Household Weather Report:

Spide-Apolypse

in the making

Storm front building

from corner to corner

room to room

capable of crossing boundries

into the great outdoors

Storms brooming

at the margins

about to break loose

in a catastrophic event

beyond the record books

Evacuate Now!

Smart Money Spiders

are in

nooks

&

crannies

prey

sucked dry

eggs

wrapped & pillowed

waiting

for

the

golden dawn

and

sub-audible

scritch/scritch

of

billions & billions

of

little legs

loosed

upon

Seattle.

Note:  Martin Nyffeler and Klaus Birkhofer, a.k.a., the spider guys, have estimated that global average spider density stands at about 131 spiders per square meter, and spider densities of 1,000 or more individuals per square meter have been observed under certain “favorable” conditions.
