All night she worked
by moon and stars,
by warp and woof,
her secret skill,
and now her silver veil,
bejewelled with dew,
reflects the morning light
in delicate array.

All day she waits
while woven wisp
entices trade
and passersby,
their presence
presents gifted
by innocence deceived
and web in tatters left.

This night she’ll work
and weave anew.
