I sit, and the spiders shape their webs over me;
I make friends with each of them.
Charlotte writes the words I could never say,
and with much more eloquence than I possess.

And when carrying me into the trees,
webs shaped around my body like plastic wrap,
they set me down into a nest and help me
count the constellations.

Radiating light bursts out of everything.

This is what it feels like to be whole.
