not napping, but looking so,
on the temple wall

Crow’s Eye [Haiku]
Cambridge U. Limerick

Ant’s Eye View [Lyric Poem]
How much grander must the world seem
closer to the ground,
a grass forest within the forest
with layered forest sounds?
Or would one be cut off from
the vaulted dome of sky,
and have one’s world shrink to
the limits of one’s eye?
If an ant thought it saw everything,
but only viewed a slice,
would its tiny ant mind have contracted a basic human vice?
