A #poetry thread

i.

He pours his concrete over sand
and gardens with his tools of steel,
makes paths of gravel over land,
thinks he controls just how his plants feel.

In neat, tight rows he makes them grow.
If any plant dares grow too tall,
he wields his scythe and starts to mow.
All green things must stay neat and small.

Puits de sève - petits trous alignés laissés par le pic maculé pour se nourrir...

This wee beastie I'm more sure of though, even if I couldn't get great pictures as it scuttled across the floor in the gloom.

It's very likely a (wounded) female triangle crab spider (Ebrechtella triscuspidata; Drieck-Krabbenspinne or Blattkrabbenspinne in 🇩🇪).

Crab spiders are deadly ambush hunters & I always enjoy / am horrified by them in the garden 😬✌️
