1. The Story Weaver or Arcturian Arachnid

Here appears the weaver of tales
from the rosy skies
guardian of meaning
not a spider from Mars
though truth may send one reeling
into the warp and weft
gathering memories
spinning unruly yarns
fables and phantasmagoria
from a life past, from
another age, to give hope to the present.
So, what of Ziggy?
Not even tonnes of stardust
can make him dance again.


Anansi-like, this is the narrator and editor of this short selective biography.
