Migrant

cell migration

by James Sherry

Borderlands
swell from one-dimensional lines
through the compound model of
things including molecules,
nouns, individuals, nations, concepts,
ecosystems. Scale 

falters in perception
persisting. My brain is dark
inside my skull, but connections
fill me with light.
