Beneath an upside down goblet
the small spider moves
around the circular edge, 3 times
until he grasps the message
there is no escape from this trap
someone has to come and pick up the glass
to give him any hope
there are a few particles on this table cloth, carpet to peck at
but no termites to dig their way in,
no woodworm or hyper-vigilant ant colony
ready to burrow
break the floor below
this is it,
was it worth it?
Was all that webbing and trapping and spinning
worth it?
Hope so
