Ants on the Ground Ants in the Sky
In fields absent of light
A star-studded sky inhabits my night
Like a million ants in front of my eyes
Shining so bright with the absence of light
Tall grass behind me, a perfect disguise
I fall back, and let it prickle my skin
Then my mind drifts to take height as the wind
It feels consistent, a comfortable flight
I let out some string, it goes like a kite
Then comes down and I can’t help but feel small
I want to feel big then I recall
When ants are working in
men don’t seem to notice ants at all
But ants never mind being alone,
and continue to work in worlds of their own
