OSI:Oubliette

Depression

There's this ant.
She's a tiny red one, maybe,
and she marches out to look for food
just when the wind kicks up.

She gets swept away
from all her sisters
and lands in a sandy little hole
and she has no trail out
and her feet slip on the sides
when she tries to climb.

Her sisters don't notice.
The sun is out.
The sky is blue.
Somebody dropped a sugar
cube near the nest.

She watches them silently.
Sometimes the dungeon is
subtle like that.

Oubliette is a synonym for hell, I think. Thanks for this, Marilyn.

Well, I am sorry this one's such a downer. I guess it says what I set out to say though. Take care of yourself.
