Spider Spirit- edit2
#5
edit1;

tiny spider crossed
deeply-patterned rug
negotiating each plateau
without anticipating
its next obstacle–

had it learned that system when
insect-striving gained rug’s end
flat tiles extending
out of touch unending
freedom like an angel’s way?




Thanks to all critics, though @Erthona's obviously had the most influence on the edit.
I like the way the choppy first verse suggests ups and down of the spider's travels.
  Wonder if the question mark should go after "touch," though.
