The light is like a spider. The light is like a spider. It crawls over the water. It crawls over the water. It crawls over the edges of the snow. It crawls over the edges of the snow. It crawls under your eyelids It crawls under your eyelids And spreads its webs there - And spreads its webs there - Its two webs. Its two webs. The webs of your eyes The webs of your eyes Are fastened Are fastened To the flesh and bones of you To the flesh and bones of you As to rafters or grass. As to rafters or grass. There are filaments of your eyes There are filaments of your eyes On the surface of the water On the surface of the water And in the edges of the snow. And in the edges of the snow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SONG OF THE BOW, FR.
