Revised, retitled, re-improved–Genie Nakano.
once
I watched an ant
crawling
the mountains bottom
it started to run
half its legs on the ground
in an alternating tripod gait
with quantum steps
my eyes followed
mind took me to the summit
there I wanted to be
but wind
blew me away
down the other side
breathing in breathing out
I follow my breath
on a lavender path
where I can see
below above and around
breathing in breathing out
ants are tickling my feet
carrying morsels
flowers and thyme
I can hear their feet
as I hear them say
"we bring food to the colony
an afterthought party will follow"
am I invited
"yes, if you help out"
so, I follow them
back to the bottom
the sugar is in my pocket
I've humbled down
knowing the other side
breathing in breathing out
breathing in breathing out

Great…as usual. And, as is usually the case, I wonder where and how you come up with the ideas, themes, and words!
