Across the Web by Julianna McCarthy

Almost light enough to see the color
of the morning cars, windshield wipers
whispering away the dew. A golden orb
weaver picks across his web
to captured damselflies in this last
lavender hour, with your robe on the floor
and mist on the mirror.
It's going to be a hot day.
