Today
I fell in love with a jumping spider
White
and black hairs cover a body no bigger than a sunflower seed
Green
eyes iridescent in the morning light
She
scurries down the green stem
Tiny
jumps to the garden’s edge
Turns
away
Pauses
Turns
again and scurries up
Onto
my earth dusted hand
Hello
tiny friend
I
love you
She
jumps into the long grass and disappears
