Moving en masse

to pile ‘pon shore lawns

in waves each one grabbed


collectively captured

and moved to a clearing

at the center of the yard.


One after the other,

crumpled and tattered

they laid on their backs


Facing the sky

silently moaning

“The sky is so hard to obtain!”


Around and above

these homeless “Others”,

branched swaying dark trees
