Border Crossing

Border Crossing

Throughout the night
wind howls
from the deep throats
of hungry wolves,
rises,
circles the moon
like a bat’s shadow,
like a symphony’s silhouette,
like cigar smoke,
like the raging dream
of Latinos
crossing the desert,
clutching their possessions,
desperate arms
grasping the wealth
of their lives.
