A black line, a red line, a yellow line,
A divorce, a separation, a termination,
A blocker, a stopper, all without
Restoration, repairing what’s broken,
Reformation, changing…
You, changing me, changing…
Us.
Segregation, division, everything but unity
A means of control; for reasons of liberty?
A means of suppression, but often done loudly.
Invisible yet visible,
Violently made peaceful?
Illegal made legal, a failure named
Victory?
Tombs with cradles, numbered without label
Without care; with a camera?
Unknown but always
Reported?
That’s where it ends, also where it starts,
A reason to kill, made a reason to live?
An expensive ticket labelled a cheap fate,
Hope, what drives restoration,
Grit, aiding reformation, coming from…
You, from me, from…
Us.
A black line, a red line – made no line,
A divorce, a separation – now the start of new life,
A blocker, a stopper – do we really need
A Border?
