TWELVE USES OF AN ABANDONED SPIDERWEB
it can be removed with a gesture
it does not threaten me with spiders
it gathers dust I can't be bothered with
it reveals by its subtle movements
it does what it has done
it is slight and receptive
it catches flies
(since the spider is gone the flies can escape
if they struggle hard and their entrapment
is not their own)
it has no insistent line
it is veins for a body of air
it becomes its shadows
it persists
