Aracna and Aracnya

Relativity.

I see you there Spider:
your eight legs
quickly moving along the ground.
You are so small
really.
Is it that far to the wall?
How strange -
it's just a step or two
to me.
I find it hard
to see through your eyes.

That web of yours - so fine:
spectrum of the morning sun -
so fragile a structure.
I could not begin
to construct a sculpture
so perfect.

I see you there Spider.
