Caught

 
 

Unnecessarily, the spider wraps another layer
around the motionless fly.

tangled
fishing lines—
again he tells me
he’s afraid
I will leave him

 
 
 
 

 “Caught” was previously published in A Hundred Gourds.

Her work has won several awards, including the Washington Poets Association’s Porad Haiku Contest, and has been published in many journals in the U.S. and internationally, including Clover, A Literary Rag.
