Celestial snapshots
Life is honored in the periphery
Where the light dims
Gust of air eddies into itself
Words halt in jagged fractals
You look at the streaming feathers of peregrine
Very much aware of the beetle dancing on the dung
Seeking guidance from the heaven    


Ants
They come out of the depth of mind
to patrol the scene.
Sniff the landscape for new thoughts, overturn the old ones
Dig out reminisces, take note of the forgotten.
Gives all clear to foragers.
Who spread out from recess in three four files, cautious and eager.
And set about to search words where thoughts can reach.
Word midden piles up and rots with half masticated sentences  
The foraged work out a tale that it fancy.
These are carried back to feed the queen memory.
To reset.
To reassure that words can make a better world.
And redeem the day.
