Word of the Day: Construct

          The spider needs no sketch, no guide to weave a house of thread.

It knows the calculated forms embedded in its head.

The magick has been trickled down from ancient mind to mind.

Now spiders can construct solutions when caught in a bind.

          I knew a friend who had a ghostly gift for guessing games:

"I don't know how these answers come. I catch them in my brain."

She touched my hand and asked me if I had an aunt named Lill.

"And did she perish in a crash that stopped the traffic still?"

With accuracy, she guessed my past — the secrets I don't show.

"I'm like the spider spinning silk — it's just something I know."
