Thread in a Spider's Web - Coral Bracho

This is another poem which I have found, also about spiders' webs. This is less literal however, and uses the web as more of a metaphor.

Thread in a Spider's Web

A little stream, drawn by the magnets of air and light,

and flowing like time, like copper forming, 

is the thread

in a spider's web. Pools of silver shimmer

from one leaf to another, from one path trodden

to another on the soft ground. I see you go across,

 over there, between two lines. ‘I love him',

 I say.

The little stream forks; flows between

two possibilities.

Its thread is in thrall to this sea of light,

this liquid, 

coursing. This water makes the evening sing, heady

and drunk. Its fire flows

on into the east forever. Held in the sun's

fine balance

I think of you.

This poem also has less of a ridged structure or pattern to it. It doesn't have a regular rhyme scheme, instead the lines flow into the next. This could be symbolic of the web itself,  in particular the threads coming from the spider. This is definitly inspiring me to look more into the idea of the spiders' webs and finding more specific information on these.
