Why The Ant Prowls At Night Poem by Tony Adah

I will lonely go
All night and search
The whole labyrinth
Of the earth and pay
Obeissance to my secret

If I see ankles
Adorn by bracelets
I will bow
If I see a head
Beaded with braids
I will howl a song
Of joy and dance
Even If no bracelets
Or braids be found.

A toad's spouse is a toad
A lizard's spouse is a lizard
And each bird loves its nest
I will know no sleep
I will bare feet walk
Prowl the torrid nights
Until my secret is found.
