Ant Hill

Puffing out of
Parted lips,
From fingertips
It rises like a white
Flame,

Weak kings reign
Hanging thin in
The chapel,
While snapshots
Of memories appear
Heaven-sent,

Back bent
Paid rent—
For the week

When sweet gestures
Seem steep,
You act upon instinct
Skin on skin
As animals would say
Utter words of

Hunger with
Raven black lives
Spider-leg knives
Standing in the
Deep end,
Sporadic waves

Crash upon
Each other—
Slowly.

  1. I can definitely hear those puffs coming from parted lips...and I know how it can be to utter words of hunger and not be fulfilled!

  4. A unique perspective. I really like the second stanza - Both ants and bees the workers and drones are 'weak kings'. But there are so many ways to read this concise piece.

  7. I drop a comment whenever I like a post on a site or I have something to contribute to the conversation.
    Usually it is a result of the passion displayed in the article I looked at.
    And on this post "Ant Hill". I was actually excited enough to write
    a thought :-P I do have 2 questions for you if you don't mind. Is it only me or does it look like a few of these responses appear like they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on other places, I'd like to follow anything new you have to post.
    Could you make a list all of all your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
