Satellites Blinking
Satellites blinking over
bungalow house
almost to sidewalk.
And we, the all-night,
roll and hot-like,
the slope.
No more lounging
like cats we are
rolling, so much anger,
down shaved grass.
Satellites blink
overhead, confusing
us by their signal.
We wave back,
as if they were family.
Sarah Sarai’s great-grandfather from Poland had a Pushcart which he wheeled around the Northeast and from which he sold things of tin.
