Tear gas canisters and rubber bullets
are hurled at their direction,
yet they rise again and again,
like anthills cropping out from earth.
The rains normally beat them, but keep
on rising and rising from the ground…...

horizontal landscapes with anthills
ants plant poison pills on mulch trails 

solar breezes inspire physicists
the universe works overtime

earth dances with oceans
becomes desert without mulch

the universe doesn't work anymore
poisoned ants occupy dead planets

Endless Chase

Dreams broken
Anthills of fear lurking
Failing forward
Nothing to lean on
The walls crack
Sorrows rack
Musing dryness
Patience
Paling
Oceans of nothingness travailing
Hopelessness hatching
Triggers pulling
Death beckoning
Casket lower
Thresholds folding
Priest dusting dust
Vanity looming
Eternity an endless chase...

On a little desk   in a dusty room
I sat and dreamed things strange
flying as birds did around school
talking as parrots with foreigners
capturing images with cakes and bread
eating worms cooked, served in plates
talking using cockroaches tied to wires
tying my neck with gold- colored ropes
working in anthills built with glasses
I think I saw it while in Primary School...

Again you are visiting 
the childhood.A green pond.

Smoke filled eyes ask, what 
was a home ?

A black city of white hills.
You were climbing on dreams 
to reach a baby moon.

And the night 
was very long, like a bad name
you cannot spell.

The anthills, fireflies and
snakes. You are still lost
in cobwebbed age.

Pawned :
After books there were no other
tales.
