"The Funeral March"
A bee falls
in mid flight,
days numbered
from the beginning
of inception,
and it is this moment
when all matters
of energy
change hands.
Troops of ants
in their neat
fastidious lines,
methodically
plying the
infinitesimal structures
of another species
from its still
beating heart,
taking death
to make life,
carrying a weight
in their jaws,
(a milligram may
as well be a mountain)
and this becomes
the burden of
their own life span.
