Scuttles (tanka+)
A large ant scuttles
Across the dome of my tent
Sisyphean task
It’s stifling hot and humid—
Which is slave to his boulder?
(Searing transforms to seering)
What I’m Reading:
Part of me is always about to turn
in a direction I will never go.
— Matthew Zapruder / “The Painted Desert”
