the tiniest ant I ever laid
eyes on keeps on getting
my attention as
.
I read this book from
the 50s entrenched with
interesting words
.
not used anymore
I take notes, a letter
at a time while she keeps
.
on moving up and down
around the page – slightly
scared if I happen to move
.
the more engaged if I lay still
or stop reading and turn
golden eyes to her
.
the tiniest ever so fast so
busy I’ll guess
she’s from the 50s too
.
quickly coming and going
she seems to exists cause
I’m looking at her though
.
she was before
.
.
A delightful poem. I especially liked the ideas expressed by the strong closing lines: she seems to exists cause/I’m looking at her though/she was before
Well done. Cheers!
