Forgotten The orb weaver forgot to reel her web in When the sun came up, It hung in day old streaming tatters Like the carnival at closing time Loss unforgiven, but forgotten In the fog of crowded, brittle cheer. I'm the spider in this story Left my heart clinging On my suit coat sleeve, it matters Love like the ferris wheel run backwards You're unforgiven, you're forgotten In the clutching mob I grab a stranger's arm.
