Spider

The Spider

I opened my eyes this morning
to see a small, light brown spider
perched on the edge of my water glass
her spider whiskers waving at me
before she slowly edged her way down
to water’s edge for her morning
refreshments. Half way up, she paused
as if to rest, or perhaps take in a morning
meditation, upon arrival back
back upon the precipice of the glass,
she waved her spider whiskers again,
rappelled off the side and was gone.
