"/ˈmīɡrənt/" by Tiana Nobile (2021)

Author: Tiana Nobile

Nobile, Tiana. “"/ˈmīɡrənt/" by Tiana Nobile.” Poetry Daily, 18 Apr. 2021, poems.com/poem/migrant/.

Of an animal, especially a bird. A wandering species
 whom no seas nor places limit. A seed who survives despite
 the depths of hard winter. The ripple of a herring

steering her band from icy seas to warmer strands.
To find the usual watering-places despite
 the gauze of death that shrouds our eyes

is a breathtaking feat. Do you ever wonder why
 we felt like happy birds brushing our feathers
 on the tips of leaves? How we lifted our toes

from one sandbank and landed – fingertips first –
 on another? Why we clutched the dumb and tiny creatures
 of flower and blade and sod between our budding fists?

From an origin of buried seeds emerge
 these many-banded dagger wings.
We, of the sky, the dirt, and the sea. We,

the seven-league-booters and the little-by-littlers.
We, transmigrated souls, will prevail.
We will carry ourselves into the realms of light.

“/’MīGRaNT/” from CLEAVE: by Tiana Nobile.
