Denise Levertov: Web

Web

Intricate and untraceable
Weaving and interweaving
Dark stand with light

Designed, beyond
All spiderly contrivance
To link, not to entrap

Elation, grief, joy, contrition,
Entwined,
Shaking, changing, forever
Forming, transforming:

All praise, all praise to the great web.

- Denise Levertov
