The light is like a spider. <br />It crawls over the water. <br />It crawls over the edges of the snow. <br />It crawls under your eyelids <br />And spreads its webs there-- <br />Its two webs. <br /> <br />The webs of your eyes <br />Are fastened <br />To the flesh and bones of you <br />As to rafters or grass. <br /> <br />There are filaments of your eyes <br />On the surface of the water <br />And in the edges of the snow.<br /><br />Wallace Stevens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tattoo/
