 Swallow is to Spider As
 
Eating is  :   to hunger  :  that is we know why  :  she swallows the fly is  :  to knowing in some other darker place this  :  is what a face looks like
 :  growing  :  her hair in her / on her  &  :  using touch to hear (i.e.  :  her
 threads) soft some-  :  what blind delineations  :  common enough  :  some
 misplaced private life that is  :  she builds her wheel between  :  trees
 :  though someone is  :  bound to tangle  :  through  :  know-how passed
 down for  :  motherhood  :  (lavender & blood)  :  i.e. her woven clean
 :  cool crisp sheets for dying in  :  slowly “safe the spider  :  first before you
 sweep a bed”  :  that is either  :  errs on  :  the side of care or  :  unlike bees,
 can  :  only use others to heal  :  (i.e. swallowing a spider with jelly cures)  :
 anew could last (4000) forever (s)  :  considering equations   :  & the
 destruction of  :  in wanting to know of them  :  as in all possibility  :  missing
 the master  :  piece the world / the body not made for it keeps  :  the
 watch she  :  webs the mouth to  :  mend the wound & nine months  :  later
 white sheets  :  the whole field  :  i.e. she makes  :  her wheels her own  :
 shroud
