Creation Fragment

Because mosquitoes are part of a big
Story
Spiders will trap them the
Wolf spider on my windowsill runs the walls she
Runs the walls for the sake of story the
Hummingbird makes her nest a
Nest for two eggs from
Spider silk and
Lichen she makes it in the
Bay tree this was a place of
Orchards and a creek ran there
Just there the plum tree is
Growing lichen growing
Lichen
