Shimmering in the light So delicate Beautiful patterns line up Simple in its purpose A tremble sets its architect Into motion, soft footsteps To where the guest, this intruder lies. Caught. Trapped. Helpless. Agonize over its plight, yet joy as well. Why fight? Why not? Choice renders the fly immobile. In that instant, sweet poisonous bite Lays into her. Trapped by the spider, Desiring freedom Desiring capture. She traps herself. For she is spider and fly.
