I love the carribean
Green locked inside
An avocado.

In Canaima, I stooped down
To watch
The warrior ants
Shrouded in green leaves
Busily marching off to
Feed and shelter
Their colonies
Carrying a burden
1000 times their weight.
Their inscription into nature.

I knew this as instruction.

I don’t know how else to show myself to you.
