Fringes
alone
adrift at sea
stranded in the desert
on the summit
below the surface
afloat in space
imprisoned
death lives in isolation
diversity exists
at the fringes
life lives on the edge
where dissimilars
meet that’s
where the action is
where desert merges with
grassland forest mountains canyons
sand becomes soil
where houses schools
walls fences meet nature
microclimates emerge
where springs wells streams
caves geysers volcanoes erupt
surface meets underworld
beaches shores coasts
embankments
land encounters water
cities states countries
borders boundaries
societies confront cultures
evolution through challenge
turmoil negotiation resolution
survival
diversity exists
at the fringes
life lives on the edge
