ICE Deportation Flight: The Children’s Reading 10 minute video
Yakima Immigration Response Network members (YIRN) read and
study their ABC’s as they witness the weekly deportation of Asylum Seekers from
Yakima, Washington, 17 December 2019. Thirty-seven Asylum Seekers were deported
this morning.
BEAUTY ON THE BARBED WIRE
ICED flight on the wire,
Chain-linked sun behind us
Almost turning hoar-frost
To tears. Almost. Not quite.
La verdad en amor otra vez.
Este verso desde Efesios
Nunca va a salirme. Tan
Rico soy. ICE Flight.
La vida con doble sentidos.
Cold, fog, hoarfrost.
Escarcha. Las cadenzas
Esta mañana apareció
Cubierta en escarcha.
Alambre de espino.
Alambre. Espinos.
So many barbs. Wired
Beyond belief. Casi
20 testigos esta mañana
So many people in wonder.
¿Sabes, maravillas, prodigios?
To be in wonder!
Among wondrous ones waving!
Inside the painted yellow rectangle,
A world opening. A children’s book
On justice, reading aloud
For asylum seekers
Rejected by our country.
