'Yes, this division’s hard to understand— those who pass through it find no promised land— and yet to keep it, hardly knowing why, thousands may die.' Photo: by Marco Bianchetti on Unsplash
Crossing the border
Poem by John Lampen

1st April 2022
Here at the gap a concrete hut, a flag,
bored men with guns, the barking of a dog;
to either side the barbed wire and the signs
BEWARE OF MINES!
