Temporary Jewels


A single stalk of autumn grass,
heavy with ripened seeds,
holds the temporary home
of an unknown spider.



Its meticulous labor 
performed overnight.

At dawn it becomes
the domed receptacle
for an infinite number
of minuscule particles;
radiant and brilliant,
visible vapor.

A thousand points of light.
Temporary jewels.
Memorable gifts.
