white and blue flags stand and wave
atop the colonized mound of granite.
Clover mites clamber in their shade, waiting
for a thumb to crush their flesh
just to paint the pavement red.

Great imagery in this !!!
I appreciate that, thank you!
I appreciate how you emphasized red with the title but especially at the end, the bug becoming a red mark of blood and colonization, of oppression. Concise but gripping.
Thank you so much!
