ANT

Once upon
my time
you stood
mighty,
a mastodon,
able to carry me
and mother
over mountains,
across years
mine-strewn.
Now, rendered
to bones and skin,
wizened from
weeks of radiation
beamed through
your blood,
you stand
weaving,
brave
ant you are.





Prompt=animal. Inspired by my father and his journey through cancer. Peace...
