Unfortunate I am in this generation
only girls with migrant labor souls
and vibrating pilgrim lips
get trapped in my basket of love...

The Lady of Liberty looks me in the eye.
I am tempest-tost, and welcome reliant.
I pass at her feet, yet gaze at torch high:
Soon to be standing on the shoulders of giants....

They still label us as gipsies and tinkers

but it is them with the blinkers

everyone is a migrant

and our culture is vibrant

let us not forget about Treblinka

An apple split
by my own thumbs,
a removal man.

You are an ebb distant,
a rustle of waves,
an upflight of birds,
migrant in ice.

When you cross the street
to your car, this a closure
in dull light. Winter`s tale....

Migrant jays quiver on ruins of their calm abode

As ghostly flakes of autumn’s trail reel with an insolent breeze.

Winging low, crystal moon guides pale birds through a nest of light.

each leaf in its way 
fly like homeward migrant birds ---
toward nations new 

winds and storms ahead 
flying with each green and red ---
find paths of their own 

they might reach in seas 
or in lands known or unknown ---
consciously conscious

prismatic trees sway
as I ramble through the woods
picturesque hued fall

chrysanthemum blooms
among varicolored leaves
scarlet migrant birds

pale lemon sunshine
aged summer's lost his might
and is fading fast

the eyes of autumn
follow each beautiful sight
arrested by hues...

White chevron squadrons usher in spring
With squawking and honking and flapping of wings.
Their return brings a weekend to revel in fun.
The locals all love it, and hundreds more come!
But the poor migrant snow goose must be sorely perplexed;
Revered on one weekend, then slaughtered the next!...

Trump and Things Inherent

Trump has abused another migrant;
He prefers things that are inherent;
His adipose,
Is gross;
Separated a child from their parent.

We already have almost 20 million 
children who have mental problems.
Less than 70 years ago one of them 
was trump....

Clear sky does pleasant eye awake
Warm sun on placid skin placate
Soft songs sung by migrant birds
Add to the harmony all peace reserved
Wander thoughts and feet together
Scenic glory whatever  the weather
I would if life allowed
Sit here pondering every cloud
And wish that I could pass each day
In this most reverent way...

For Migrants No Other Choice

When we had heard voice after voice,
Containing crying making loud noise;
Heading here,
Still with fear;
Coming to America was only choice.

To arrive in America tried and tried,
And yet after all of this she still died;
Another migrant,
To heaven went;
No water supplied and father cried.

like a migrant thai worker
i pedal my bicycle on the 
village path hunched over
dark my face covered against
the dust the dogs bark at me

the bees slammed into my forehead
and the scent of a distant homeland
assault my nostrils and like his letters 
back  home 

silverplating the sweat of his brow

my poems two are wrapped in darkness 
that covers my longing...

In early spring’s afterglow
Egrets head north as winds row; 
Dwelling  on lattice of plains
And coo    warble mild refrains--
How migrant journey  stirs on
When  April wakes with delight
Until lull of morn is done--
A homecoming …  our birds' rite !

not too hot nor cold 
     sheets are slightly moist ~ just right 
                   for going viral
            

By 
David Kavanagh 

Dedicated to the employers of migrant workers, 
who pay them so little they have to practice
hot-bedding, to afford a roof over their head, the
proven breeding ground for current coronavirus
outbreak in Ireland getting out of control again....

Trump A Bed Wetter

Trump said he would make America better;
Likes Golden  Showers and is a bed wetter;
Here parents went,
And are migrant;
He does have much difficuly writing a letter.

Trump Destroyed Drinking Ghord

Knew that it was away and very far;
Saw drinking ghord with North Star;
Sought relief, 
From grief;
Of law does not believe in the letter.

Fat midnight bats feast, gnawing gnats, and flit away serene
      while on the trails in distant dales the lonesome wolverine
            sate appetites as dawn alights and daytime's crystalline.

A migrant feeds on rotting seeds with fingers far from clean
      and thereby’s blessed with barren breast (the easier to wean) -
            her baby sucks an arid flux and fades away unseen....
