An Olympian ant caps the throne of chronos,
dismantling her world
and staring at the pieces.

    That’s quite a photo in the vineyard…Is it one of those ants that cuts the leaves into little pieces? That’s the impression I got from your verse.

  • wild said:

    My words will deceive, Merrill Ann. Not a leaf-cutter ant, this is an Eastern black carpenter ant.
