ICE



ICE

has come to name a
stark no-tolerance..
an icy wind suggests
a rising fear
in far places of those
considering  a path
as did our ancestors 
for escape to freedom..

lady liberty with torch
reminds us of our
primacy of welcome..
welcome and rules 
write their
inseparable history..

when rules preside
in a stringent way
welcome is hidden
but never absent
knowing
the rules will die
as they pretend
a life of their own...
