I have seen
A great migration of selfs to and
From the Sargasso Sea
They reside in what are called Ranch homes
It's called "desert landscaping": Squat barrel cacti
Raggedy Pampas grass
Cat litter gravel tinted pink, brown, green-
Green- an ersatz grass lawn.
In remembrance of where they once lived
The siroccos come and go
Along with them are swept the weeping, those that rejoice
In the migration, those that breathe a sigh of relief
upon leaving
the gravel that graces the lawns.
Yes it hurts when it hits you
You have bits of sandy grit in your teeth.
