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

but it is them with the blinkers

everyone is a migrant

and our culture is vibrant

let us not forget about Treblinka

Sparkling clear
And singing low
Free as a migrant
As you go

A ripple here
A current there
An ebb and flow
With an idle air

A twist and turn
And you carry on
Water-borne
And pure as dawn...

 Reservoir of
	Creative joy
Now depleted
	Brings the
Dim
	Dismaying 
Emptiness of
	Effete creativity
Disheartens
	Disenchants
The migrant
Soul of Striving

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

Less than 70 years ago one of them

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.

    Everything today is a crisis
        border crisis, migrant crisis
        climate crisis, carbon crisis
        mortgage crisis, housing crisis
        Russia crisis, China crisis
        tariff crisis, free-trade crisis
        health-care crisis, population crisis

       Everything extreme, nothing in-between
