The Skies

For an ant the butterflies are in the sky
for a butterfly the birds are in the real sky
see, sky in the sky
no matter how endless the height of the sky
no matter if you lie or fly high -
the galaxies,
the planets,
the sun,
and the whole universe are eddying in the sky
so the ant without wings
now, is in the sky.
