Time passes differently here (Microcosmos, 1996)



Time passes differently here (Inspired by Microcosmos)






a wasp polishes its face 






a praying mantis washes its leg 




bees wipe stingers and wings
searching for nectar in poppies




at a water hole
ants feed  
pull seedpods
until a quail pecks
with beak stamps and cracks




in a hive wasps feed larvae




armored beetles roll dirt boulders up hills




water bugs dance
with mirrored images




spiders lay eggs
in underwater nests
filled with their own air




two snails kiss




beetles attack
their red claws reaching out
Sumo wrestlers
until the clash ends





The night gives way once more.




a tall insect emerges  
shadows doubling its size
praying monk 
Kabuki dancer

fly away with a hum
