Until I die

Some of the ants don't follow the pheromones

Everyone wields a machete, everyone cuts leaves
and those little trails get wet in the rain

Some storm clouds never disappear, they just roll
over the mountains, a perpetual misty fog threatening
to unleash the known unknown on muddy slopes and tiny
settlements of forlorn humans under tents and tarps
and nylon

These six legs scramble across strange surfaces
and this hardened skin shouldn't feel the weight of
the day but it does

And so they stray
