Do spiders hear music
When the wind blows through their webs? Is that how they know how to build them? DO they follow the pattern, keys, or tone, that only they can feel and understand?
Does the trimmer of rain, or the song of Sol affect the pitch or timbre? Does the ragged beat of struggling prey affect the tempo or tenor?
Does the slowing of struggling heart beats succumb to poison please them?
Do spider's senses hear all this as ours might hear a symphony? How about when they gather, above, behind, and around one another - do they know how to build in harmony?
Does it devastate the song when a member is gone - lost as some other monster's victim? Does the web sing a ballad - now broken, loose and wrong - of the creator that has left it?
Is it the loss of the song that causes the spider to move on and build another masterpiece? What drives those threads to rise higher instead, tighter in the most dangerous places?
Is it music of the moon which calls spiders to swoon in open door ways, rafters and tree tops? Does the wind that flow through gaps, cracks and holes guide a percussive pattern?
What creates the beat that drives eight delicate feet to create their live-in stereo - across harp strings that shimmer dew bright in the shadows of morning, evening and night.
Does the music play too for the insects who find themselves caught in this trap? Does it bob and beat as those eight dancing feet - play like a lullaby or like a crescendo?
