Mimesis by Fady Joudah

My daughter

wouldn’t hurt a spider

That had nested

Between her bicycle handles

For two weeks

She waited

Until it left of its own accord



If you tear down the web I said

It will simply know

This isn’t a place to call home

And you’d get to go biking



She said that’s how others

Become refugees isn’t it?
