Irritating blessings


The spiders, whom so many hate and fear, 
Still spin their delicate reminders 
Of the connectedness of things, 
Carefully and thanklessly 
Trapping and consuming 
The minor irritations that plague us. 
Yet still I long to brush away 
The tiny strands of light, 
In order to admire the last blue flowers 
Blooming in my garden...
