perfect little something

A drawer to put my thoughts in.

Living like ants

Sometimes I swelter from my own mortality;
it sears me through that monstrous lens
atop my head;
though I scurry to hide in darkness –
under a blanket, or car, or crack
somewhere in the Earth –
still it finds me,
and still it burns.
