Margins
I’ve got a strong centre
but uncertain edges.
I would, for instance,
be hard to colour in.
It would be best
if I were to become heritage-listed,
like a national park,
under some sort of order of protection.
For fences work both ways,
as Frost showed,
and life in the margins tends to be in pencil,
and all the more easily erased.
