Martyred May 19, 1536. I dedicate to her and to Erzebet today, my Hymn to Arachne, a poem published in my chapbook, Sappho, I should have Listened, 918studio, 2010:
Hymn to Arachne
Twisting, turning, taut and tense,
Weft and woof and
Hemp so dense,
Ikat colors
Hues hand-dyed
Stories told from
Days sublime.
Weaver’s touch all
Magick conjure
Weave the colors
Patterns under
Cloak me now in
Wool and silk,
Woe to those
Who wish bad ilk.
