Borderless

Borderless
Sunlight 
doesn't care 
about fences.

A child laughs 
somewhere 
beyond the wall,
could be anywhere, 
could be anyone’s.

At the market,
hands count money
in different languages
but tomatoes 
taste the same.

Birds build nests
in barbed wire, 
using what they find.

Planes cross
overhead 
carrying people home 
to places 
that look different 
but feel familiar.

We are all
walking 
under the 
same sky.
