on a dusty sidewalk,
all else nearby swept bare.
A closer look reveals
a busy antswarm,
one by one transporting blossoms
into their home within.
The flower source?
No shrub, no tree, no plant
in easy sight
bears blooms in form or hue like these.
The flower crown a fairy ring
gathered in since dawn?
I have no ready answer.
