See that fine black thread
Dangling from the tree
Dangling there and tempting me
Washing from my head everything that Mother said
Tempting me to maybe twitch, just an itch
Not pull, nor yank
It’s not that it’s wool wound into a hank
And if I give in to the itch
And if I twitch
Will it summon the witch?
Will she do her eight-legged crawl
To check who called
Tugging her gossamer thread

There’s a huge sycamore tree overhangs west side on my place. I live with every kind of spider. I tolerate that. But if they get in my way and won’t move when I ask them, I sometimes have to take drastic action. But I always warn them first and give them a chance to scarper

I hope they’re more cooperative that my spiders!

The tree in the photo is host to mistletoe. So maybe it’s about a different kind of itch?
