The Edge of Strangeness
Strange; stranger, strangeness.
Who is the stranger?
Edge; boundary, border, barrier, transition.
Edge; challenge, change, threat, possibility, potential.
Strange; unusual, unknown, mysterious.
Strange; other, new, different.
We each look across the edge at the strangeness of the other.
On the edge of strangeness,
Moving from place to place seeking safety.
Borders are closed.
Fleeing war,
Hoping for sanctuary but finding rejection,
Always being 'other'.
Displaced, with no possibility of return,
Facing the uncertainty of life in exile.
On the edge of strangeness.
