Within a whisper

0 posted 2001-06-13 07:53 PM

canard connects
to untruth

thinnest pretense melds into alibi

slowly woven
until a reality

and thus begins the spider's lie

softly delicate
in its beauty

it sparkles gaily in morning light

but in the dark
of midnight moon

the weave takes on a sudden fright

caught within
          the puzzle spun
tis said the fly
          was all undone
the spider laughing
           crawled away
to another victim
           another day

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...
