The Death of a Good and Faithful Spider
In Tod Mixson’s ikon corner a good and faithful spider fulfilled its vocation in an arachnid-life well spent.
A good and faithful spider lived its life
In spinning and dusting and catching pests
In the ikon corner among the saints:
Kyril and Methodius, Seraphim
Tikhon the Wonderworker, Vladimir
Anna of Kashin, Nicholas the Czar
Zosima, Xenia of Saint Petersburg
And all the cloud of holy Slavic witness
Whose images were guarded worthily
By a little spider who served God well
