Boundaries
Lady Liberty beckons
All to gaze at the wall in Nogales
brave hidden water in the blazing sands.
Nature weaponized!!
Boundaries
Arbitrary line drawn in world geography
Geomorphology gone extinct
Political land redistricting 1848
Human and nonhuman alike
Othering
.. the BIPOC body
...the disabled body
...nonhuman bodies when it suits power needs.
Nature exploited for supremacy
Categorize and disconnect.
Who decides?
Who gets Agency?
Binary, privilege v. pain.
The migrant body, a physical wall
The disabled body, a societal wall
Ever at edge of resources and land
Land is belonging and body
Deemed purposeless, cast aside
Inaccessibility, the ultimate price
Periphery.
