papers no papers

Juan Felipe Herrera

for our brothers & sisters facing deportation

with papers    or
no papers

  we are expansive  with sun
or moon we
are expansive

with light or no-light
we are    expansive  with surveillance  
    or no surveillance  we are

expansive
 as the rain crosses lightning
     as the sun penetrates to the root
 as the earth      rotates toward all things

          we are expansive
papers no  papers  borders no
 borders
    we
                           expand
