House Spider
Who were you before
houses: you who inherited
the earth?
In this it is
superfluous whether you evolved
or got created in
a garden:
your nature prevailed after
you were sent to
the wilderness,
then this artificial nature
where you now languish
lost in darkness, in
a corner.
What of the garden
where you almost had
life everlasting?
Does it still exist
for your kind; is
it still the earth’s
celestial place?
Are you invited back
with your original name:
just “spider”?
Our apology for ruminating;
we strive for knowledge
and ache for confirmations:
we humans.
