Where the time stops




Over the horizon
Billion ants held their mandibles across the earth to knot  
that spread to include all beings in a cozy set up
buoyant in the perilous journey across the blasé sun.      
Human, a casual presence in an indifferent universe,
sights the eye of an aloof black hole
stupefied by insignificance in the churning darkness.
A bottomless abyss of matter and time
and the nodding squint of praying mantis silhouetting  
on the window sill
