Assigned

Perceived norms
perceptions of realities
constructs of our castles in the air..
Our relative fitting in
and of each other
by way of exclusivity
by way of subjective labels..
Constructs of roles and
objectification
Lessening in significance
tired and worn out
cloaks and shadows
a Lessening of ourselves
and all that we are born to be
before we are buried under
Society’s acceptance…

Ionnannachd – Identity

 

We are all other..
all Outsiders
all migrants
within our modern constructs
and concepts
of borders and culture..
of who and what we are
Within our native lands
we are as One..
