Spider
Maia Wijnberg '26

Web of pale silk hanging in arcs across the sky,
Marble pillars pulling taut a new net,
To trap or to catch?

​

A predator perched on a single string
Lying in wait for the bird or the worm to wander in.
Master of design weaving a whimsical pattern,
aided by the billowing wind.

​

Even when gone the threads remain,
An endless mark of innovation
To be modeled and imitated.

​

What happens when the wind blows too fast?
When a hand cuts in?

​

Lost to the air again,
who would strike down a home?
