art
Poetry and art go hand in hand; in fact, a poem is just art in the written form.
Artfully lost floss
Did you know that spiders sew with a few different kinds of silk ?? Some strands are strong for longer spans, and there are strains simply meant to be sticky. There's springier silk, too, good for impacts with insects, which stretches, just to mention a few. And, to describe the many trapping methods that the master-weavers have adapted would take more than can be properly captured in a modest string of words.

Push
Shut in a box. A small cardboard box, pale silver and soft, like blotting paper with dapples of blue and pale orange subtle bumps on the surface. The box has a lid made of the same soft blotting paper card. It is neatly folded down and round, holding all the four corners snuggly solid. Slowly edging their way around the internal perimetre of the box, toes pressed softly up to the edge, tentative and tactile, wanting to push forward yet scared of meeting crocodiles. The toes explore, hoping to find a foothold, or a mouse hole, to loosen the grip of the four parallel walls. The nose feels warm, smells closeted, soft wooly air with a hint of apple juice and dust. Sharp fresh air, vibrant and cutting, freezing the inner hairs deep within their den is a long forgotten taste of memory lingering in the hidden innermost corners of the nostrils. Secreted away from the world, a hidden memory of time.

The Story That Has Never Been Truly Told Before
When people hear about the valley of the wonder doves, they think of the different things that have gone on there and the people who have chosen to live there. With the rules that they have to live by and the consequences that follow if someone does not do so, I can never understand why people continue to live. But before I talk about the rules, let us talk about how the people managed to discover the valley and how life would be there.
