Spider's Silk

Memories crocheted of spiders silk,
Until a shawl is made.
Put around the shoulders for warmth.
Once worn fond thoughts are forgotten.

The shawls are sewn together using strings to the past,
Until a quilt is made.
Put upon our bed for warmth.
Once covered tenderness is forgotten.

The quilts are sewn together using human flesh,
Until a tapestry is made.
Put upon our wall for beauty's sake.
They only cover the stains.
