Borders

Maggie Devers

On the north side of the border

The saguaro arms are drooping

And the Oregon Pipes have disappeared

Even their bones are missing.

But to the south, they grow tall and proud

With enough of both to pepper the landscape,

And I wonder how it's possible

For a line in the sand to grow.
