lyrics

Love is the net the spider weaves
It functions as snare and universe
A mouth and a hand
A setting to briefly know life and to lose it
Darkness to fill with the aching light of stars
A mind to fill with dreams

Heat. Damp air. No strength. A life begins.
Wind. Cold grass. Frost heaves. Stones pushed through time.
The sun, moon and earth trace lines.
The eye sees. Light spills inside.

Grace weaves through threads hung in between
the trees of heaven and latticed leaves.
Details demand scribe. Page thirsts for ink.
Life finds a witness. Earth mirroring grace -

As a mother embraces her murderous sons
As a fox takes unhatched young from nest
Its avian pearls
Brought to her home underground
Kits fangs tear through gold
And the day moon observes

Fate tying souls who die and who eat
Days move through loss, suns rise over grief
Details demand scribe. Page thirsts for ink.
Life makes its witness. Skies mirror space.

The bodies of gnats suspended in cracked-glass corners
Love is the harness that holds them in place
Discarded bodies digested by time
Love is a sentence the spider speaks as it weaves us into the natural world
Life blooms and withers at once
