Celestial Spider

by T.L. Coston


Powerful blows resound through the sky
Tears in a blackened veil reveal a bolt of light
High above a celestial spider mends the firmament
As torrential tears of rage makes a descent



Bellows from this struggle emit gusts of wind
Diligent, the spider exerts
Bombardments of light tatters its heavenly web;
Yet, he persistently works



A deity perturbed at the arachnids toil
Stikes his celestial mandible.
Severing the cloak, sunshine appears
The conflict comes to a close.
