Spidery Offspring

Spidery offspring
scampering their beige
underbellies
winds in predatory pursuit
provoked by coal-lined clouds
immobilized
because they wonder at such beauty
sand stops in the crevice of
your Bible's cover
and traces the cracks
of a car-key pod
ancient glass filaments erode
synthetic plastics, rubbers, paints
and you're being stalked by a
digital camera chronicling today
in images that will always fail to
convey the experience.
