The ant looked at the great colossus
\nof the pyramid.
\nThe astonishing height of a sun goddess
\nlooking over the surface of a lunar desert.
\nBut the ant paid no mind
\nto the wonder of its creation.
\nThe hundred thousand lives
\nmortared between its seams.

Grain by grain
\nas time blows the pyramid away,
\nthe ants will line up their labor
\nand grain by grain
\ntake the pyramid into their tunnels
\nand roads,
\nuntil the desert is flat
\nand the sun goddess
\nturns her head to the Nile
\nand disappears into its arms,
\nloved into oblivion,
\nits soul covered by the ants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
