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.
