The Migrants Speak of God

These eyes look different
now and this gut hurts
more when a lease is signed
against the will. Other people's
beds smell awful as a body
forces itself
between the stray sheets,
talk about the tyrannies!
Beggars with cars have dogs
that sit inside and wait for hours
snapping at the flies.
The smart ones wait
for just the right time
and if they swallow
the tiny prey, it is with little regret.
