Back

We couldn't think from where the spiders
came to dusty-web us. Ignored the #crevice
as too small, too slight, unthreatening.
We worked around, across, while it grew wider,

weather worn, time worn, it soon amassed
a gloomy depth. Our reach became too little
to bridge it. We lost our shared centre,
lost sight of who we were across that crevasse.
