Big Words
The orb weavers
came out last night.
And the silk-sticky dew and fog
became as a giant snowflake
suspended between branch and grass.
I dared not touch
it's crystalline form
yet it called to me,
"Come closer,"
from a time like yesterday
but long ago,
where I neither knew
nor used
big words.
