Armor


skittering and sure
he's found it just where
lou left it.

skipping across
the 8 cracks
like horned-sheep
over deep ravines
zagging around
the sandy pebbles
like the twitch
of a fishing line
across water.

his day 36
his strength
of aged wine.

he's ready
to take on the world
with a blade of grass.

what is that bug, there? is that who the "he" in the poem is?

it's a little, mighty ant in the pic. and the poem was inspired by the picure, so that's where the he started... but is not strictly defined by him alone. i think there's bits of him in some of us.
