Arachnid Understanding
julius chestnut
Contemplating pinecones
I pause beneath the evergreen
And unwrap the sweetness
Enveloping me is the silky non essential gravity of inconsequential happenstance
"Is this all?"
I nod knowingly.
My inward self-assuredness casts a tendril above a weeping cloud
Cutting several colors of the rainbow from its arc of majesty.
Arachnid crawling upon the poking digit from my sandal,
Peering up at me, abalance on thin spindle octopods, the little one does cry.
"I understand", I tell him, oh if he could but hear,
"I understand".
Thunder cracks in the distance.
A streak of lightning and I am naught but saucy, oblate, nay, a truly unkempt plate of intertwined percipience.
