Spiderweb
by Stanislaw Baranczak



The spiderweb, symmetrical
death;

is still
a sail stretched from leaf to leaf,
sifting sunrise (let’s wax
poetic), a thatched roof
straining stars some August night (there’s
no better), a wintry
pattern (anaesthetic) on the glass;

suddenly:
the splayed hand that slapped your face;
the wheel they broke you on; the rifle
target bearing your hunched shape;
ripples on the water where you drowned;
your solar plexus radiating
pain; the sight on a fighter plane
nosediving the road where you shield
your head with other refugees; a windowpane
meshed with cracks where your eyes had been;

the spiderweb, concentric rings; pain
grows this way; centrifugal rays;
a dead star decays this way;symmetrical death;
harmonious disgrace;
tidy degradation;

you only feel it brush your face.

Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh

Truly gorgeous! They look like they're glowing. I'm not a big fan of spiders either, but they sure do contribute to the beauty of the world. Great piece!

Believe it or not I have a spider (non Apophysis) but he/she/it might like your web as much as I do. Of course I wouldn't want to live there!
