A Tiny Yellow Hummingbird Is Caught

A tiny yellow hummingbird appeared to be caught. In a loop, Struggling in vain. Hanging, twirling, spinning. More spinning. Finally I ran out there. Determined to save her. Only she was no hummingbird. Merely a yellow leaf caught on the tail of a spider’s thread. I went back into the house Watching him struggle, Enjoying it in every way now.

And I love spiders as long as they stay outside. I adore their webs, especially in the rain.
