Red ants

Post by creativesoul » November 4th, 2020, 10:07 pm

There is a crack in the cement
The back porch is full of fire ants
The crack in the pavement
Is scary
Suddenly it’s as if I’m standing near a powerful tribe
That could eat me alive

Riverside county has to come
No water for ten days on the lawn

It seems like everything is the same every day
Watch the stories
Cook pasta for the boss
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

The crowding of earth.
So many tribes that could
eat you alive, but then you
go on living for awhile.

little cracks everywhere
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

So slow each day of sunlight like gold
I imagine my lungs healing
The day went smooth
