Spider-web Faith


Spider-web faith won't hold pain,
           cannot ensnare loneliness,
           fails to capture grief.

And should despair wander that silken road,
should sadness flutter against that silken rope,
spider-web faith will disintegrate,
its stray ends floating
down.

Spider-web faith always disappoints.
Spider-web faith always disappears,
But not before strangling hope.
