Woodrow Lucas Poet Bio

The Ant On My Balcony

The ant on my balcony

Today there was an ant on my balcony.  
I focused on it in fear.
Today there was a spider on my balcony.
I focused on it in fear.
Today I set a bird free from my air conditioner.
I grabbed it in love and let it fly.
Today I asked my wife who she was attracted to.
Feeding on my fear, I looked for ways to hurt myself.
Wondering, when I would grab her in love and let her fly.
