ants
by Ava Blui wake up in the desert.
a few ants are scattered around my nipples.
not biting, just exploring. i am surrounded by sand.
my skin sizzles from the sun.
is there anything that cannot be forgiven?
we move in different ways, the ants march in unison.
we should learn from them.
i don’t know if there’s a way to make up for what’s happened.
i don’t know if you’ll ever look at me the same,
but i know it's all over, everything has hit that wall.
the ants have stopped trying to build,
they are fleeing
and i am forced to follow.
