it was
a romantasy
or so they said

but where was the Queen?
Her legions
in ranks of bronze
mandibles shining
a drop of venom
glistening
on every sting?

why did they not stand
order arms
in review
before the boarding
of the proud trireme?

when "romantasy" they say
there are certain, expected things
it's not just any dream

I'll be doing one more in-person art event this year, and that's it. So, I'm adding some of my hand drawn pieces to my on-line shop at artatomic.io

Here's one of my ant drawings, with the words "Move slow and make wonderful things"
