Ant Life

It’s
fun to watch the ant in summer.
It
is clueless in heat.
In
a random moment
It
scampers on warmed tiles.
I
don’t mind it getting on me;
It
sends a tickle up my short-clad leg.
I
have to brush it off.
It’s
ready to take over my storming thoughts.
It
is afraid of my approaching arm.
I
leave it to its play.
A
black, six-legged bug
Trails
onto my summer nights
foreseeing some rain.
