Dogs at the border, you guard your own cage Only your own feel the teeth of your rage Your pride in your scraps and your flag and your fence Back to the sea, with nothing to defend Snarl, beg, the beasts of statehood, choked on the leash of a made-up nation Violent obedience, lapping at the gore on the butcher’s apron Pacing the border, you kiss your own bars Your walls and barbed wire, your masters and liars Biting the hands that would set you free Killing for wealth that you’ll never see Bite the hand that holds your keys Bite the hand that holds your leash Bite the hand that feeds you scraps Kill no more for the cannibal pack

Shattered, lying open, the most wretched of our graves I feel a long-dead sorrow yawning ocean-wide again The one who wants forgiveness, hated among the dead Dragged back to the waking world to face this hell again Dragged backwards to poverty, addiction and abuse A child who bore a child, a cycle now concludes Contagious mental illnesses, the cold shame of the knife Strip searched, beaten, brutalised, no shelter, no respite Unwanted, a child Unwanted, a life A fugitive, fled to the other side Untended, a grave Unforgiven, a crime Reanimated, one who chose to die Witness as I’ve witnessed; endless children’s graves This system is a charnel house of murdered human waste Look into the rotting eyes of those you sacrificed The revenants of suicide, demand you answer “why?”

I roar upon the river, an inland tidal wave I am the storm over the sea, the blur inside the rain I scream across the shoreline with the thunder, then I’m gone I pass over your harbour, roaring on and on Beware the murky waters of this heron-haunted shore The sinking mud and submerged wrecks, a vast devouring maw A rip tide to ride, can you resist? Or in me, will you drown? Churning in my channel and sucking you down I pass, I leave no trace Another wasted year The rain you wipe off from your face I was never here I am the salt upon the wind, I’m what the waves erase The shimmer on the tidal range where I stood yesterday Unstoppable, unknowable, I never had a choice The mocking wind that calls you on, you thought you heard my voice Don’t look to me to read the signs, there is no future here No pattern in the lightning, no promises to hear Migrating birds tell nothing, except of darkening skies So heed instead their warning call; settle here and die I pass, I leave no trace Drowning in my wake A cold and storm-wracked absence All I have to take I pass, I leave no trace A wave beneath a ship The shuddering upon your skin A double take, a glimpse
