I love this--especially the idea that words have no borders.

Taking this personally, when writing, I guess all poets need to teach our words to fly! Lovely analogy - Thanks!

Words have so much power!

This part resonates, makes me think of Irene's nests and nestlings!

"and others
build nests
have chicks
warm them
feed them

teach them
how to fly
and one day
they go away
in flocks"

Absolutely!
