every border that rises

is built on a lie
the river gives us water
     forgiveness
not a bureaucratic line of demarcation
when was the last time
the first humans
scrawling figures on rock walls
identified
named
owned
the land and oceans
around them

what's so civil
about property
slavery
indoctrination
nations

can ritual
and dogma
be separate

the sun will make us grow
or it will starve us
