By the edge of the
California Sea Lions’ tank
purple flowers provide
a spiders’ loom.

Purple flowers: Prospect Park Zoo 1
Sleep’s refuge
Like a clutter of spiders,
the cold crept over him,
probing old wounds,
prodding old pains.
He stirred; but half-awake
he searched the bed.
Touching nothing,
finding no one,
he remembered, shivered,
pulled the cover tighter,
and sought again
sleep’s refuge.

The Denver Zoo marked the beginning of
the 2010 trek Tricia and I made to
the Great Plains.
We enjoyed viewing the flowers:
the spiders enjoyed living in them.
See you along the Trail.
