Web
Denise Levertov

Web by Denise Levertov

Intricate and untraceable
weaving and interweaving,
dark strand with light:

Designed, beyond
all spiderly contrivance,
to link, not to entrap:

Elation, grief, joy, contrition,
entwined;
shaking, changing forever
forming, transforming;

All praise, all praise to the great web.
