The sun hits the hills 
above Nogales,
rebounds off the fence 
that separates two lands,
while Chihuahuan ravens fly 
north and south overhead, 
glint of light filtering through
their inky feathers.

White pelicans catch 
thermals over the borders
between Gaza and Israel, 
Red-crowned cranes fly over  
North and South Korea 
and Golden eagles glide 
between Iran and Iraq,
the moon and sun 
spreading light over all of us.
