Encumbrance By German Dario

AdobeStock_116752678.jpeg

died at the border

 bit down
on mother tongue
saying
goodbye

born at the border
tripped
over chicken wire
learning to run

 wings
not available
not
      for sale
to all

a pilgrimage
of immigrants
spanning
continents
not a river
a scattering
a murder
a pod
a muster   
of hope
