my dad is vacuuming

my dad is vacuuming
up the line of ants in
the kitchen, holding
back that fierce
rank and file
to save my mom,
my brother, and me –
some heroes don’t
need a city

looking down from up

looking down from up
above, we are
ants marking important
trails, gradually
reinforcing the most
successful routes
with well-trodden
stories.

on return,
we weave
journeys with
our fingers, hands
full, mouths
sampling
,
re-arranging
each new word
.
