Forever In Need
Forward and back
forward and back
I follow you to your tiny world
a forest within a pavement crack
The alluring scent
guides you ever after
A trail of bodies in labor
forward and back
Forever in need
saving for winter’s cold
Famine or greed?
Forward and back
Fascinated, I hover,
adding extra lenses
Finally, on my belly
I follow you to your tiny world
Weed to a tree,
pebble becomes mountain
I lose a day in
a forest within a pavement crack

I felt myself virtually on my belly watching those ants work!

Maria, this is *wonderful*. I love the image of the forest in the pavement crack – your poem is just what I needed today to make the dark things seem less dark. So beautifully written!
