Borders

by Adam Levon Brown / December 2nd, 2018

Bodies curled
beside each other

Mothers protecting
their children
with arms shrunken
from malnutrition

Teargas sizzles
the remains
of a culture
fighting for justice

Fathers, brothers, sisters,
mothers, uncles, aunts

Fighting for each other
between invisible lines

Fighting for each other
between invisible shields

Fighting for each other
between invisible tears

Fighting for each other
Between invisibility and life

Do not let them become
invisible too
