Balance isn’t always necessary

Written for Carpe Diem: theme as above.
A dragon fly flew in through the slightly open window. It was already late. As with Issa, I keep house casually. A long legged spider webbed itself a spot in the corner close to the floor between the bedside table and the wall. Noticed it yesterday. I foresaw the dragon fly getting entangled. A shoe on the floor close by got tossed, breaking the web, scattering the spider. Just in time too.
dragon fly, alive
set on the wooden lamp stand –
safe, stilled; spent the night

My kind of house keeper!
There’s a few of us, thank goodness.
Choices choices.. spider or dragonfly… we have to make a decision.
It was a lucky night, both survived.
I love this, story and poem.
Thanks Claudia!
