Sounds to spiders

A season’s resting, breast steadied unto cessation

Fallow field no oats sewn, regrown creaking shyly to life

Eagerly showing, branches limbs teased from stone

Reposed most boldly, muscles shining waxy with oils

Fields glowing with mithril dew, cobwebs jewelled

Spiders a confusion of opals and rubies

Unamused by movements of troopers

Evercloser sounds: shooting, looting, enthused misrule.
