Spider

Brown and yellow legged spider
Lurking without menace
Loitering without intent
Peaceful
As though
The wall it hangs upon
Could have been a tree in a forest.

Gentle movements legs splayed
A graceful presence
Leaving no trace
As it appears
to be keeping
a rendez-vous and you
Shy away, are spiders meant to be creepy?

Really silly but a spider
Can be so many things
To so many beings
It moves well
in darkness
It is well protected
Lights freezes the spider in time.
