burgundy flora is placed
and eight legs race
from it
across the oak table.
a snow-white spider
the second in three days
she replaces the first one
i killed.
number two is hiding
in a bundle of cockscomb.
one little crystal spinner
at buddha’s feet.
i am a reed
a puff of air
humbled as she weeps
for the first.
