Night Work

I'm still leaning at this table
trying to solve the riddle of the predicament by an electric lamp
while a moth taps at the window and the kitchen ticks dryly
like the secret workings of a clock.
The spider and I weaving quietly in our corners,
like the collaborators in the prison scene after lights out,
combing the blueprints, masterminding the architecture,
trying to break ourselves free.
