tiny
black ants
crawl across
space
each carts one
perfect crystal
many times
its weight
I get carried too
as I follow
their trail
from source

Perfect imagery and metaphor...leaves one feeling as if they are in the moment and left at peace in the end...excellent!
Best to you.

Great metaphor on this one. I like the way it leaves interpreting open and yet makes a solid impact. Excellent.

Perfect! The sparse words and stark outline carry as much weight as does the ant. This is one of the best short poems I've read. Excellent!
