THE ANTS OF YOUR THOUGHTS


rarely do you stop
to observe the ants of your thoughts

you ask yourself,
where, the tiger?
where, the elephant?

and angrily, and uselessly you shout,
THIS DESERT!

but the ants of your thoughts,
here at your feet...

The Seventh battalion of the proud Pepper ants

Were carrying their triumph back home:
A myriad of morsels,
The chopped body of a slain caterpillar of love.

  1. Le Caterpillar est un vaisseau du jeu de la vie, automate cellulaire.

    C'est vrai, les communautés de fournis sont toujours actives, comme les cellules qui se renouvellent.

  2. Ants sting like nerve ends
    thoughts strike like
    Lightning Bolts...

    Fog can result...for a moment
    Ants begin again
    knowing vulnerability of the
    heart of the caterpillar,
    love...

    Perhaps the ant does not understand

    challenges the unknown

    Simplicity of love in the heart
    of the caterpillar...

    some win some lose

    anyone know who won?

    Ants as thoughts stinging nerves in the head
    Dreams result
    Poetry and Art of a New Era.

  3. the imagery is so strong
    my eyes sting

    It is all because of the mental image
    of the proud Pepper ants
    carrying their trophy
    back home

    or is it because
    of the thought of the slain
    caterpillar of love?

  4. Proud pepper ants
    Is the trophy worthwhile
    thoughts with strong imagery
    sweet caterpillar of love;
    slain by unknown...
    Ants stinging constantly
    Within ones head...
    What trophy can the
    Ants really take home?
