shakes the cup of the morning glory
like a fisherman swirling his cognac glass
to catch the early sun
and the small bee
sports little Turkish pants of pollen
snitched from his campaign
among the geraniums.
The spider
spinning in the baby's bassinet
means no harm
and will not hurt him.
Andrew Karavis lives on the Aegean island of Lipsi. David Solway is the author of several books of poems, including Chess Pieces (1999).
