Spider Medicine<\/h1>\n

by Angela Muir<\/p>\n

Spent the day relocating spiders from their homes
\nTucked in corners and on window sills
\nRefreshing the damp towels with dry ones
\nAnd wiping the slates clean<\/p>\n

Chalk powder collected from years of ideas
\nNow just dust among the banana peels
\nAnd lemon rinds<\/p>\n

Soon I will put the books and old letters in boxes
\nStacked and labeled
\nReady to ship<\/p>\n

Twenty four days of sea sick pans and denim cut offs
\nUntil the anchor drops<\/p>\n

And then I weave again
\nNew life made from shreds of tattered scarves stored through the winters<\/p>\n

I can only hope you have your silk to share.<\/p>\n
