OULIPOST #1: STAR-CROSSED

It's not
a comfortable
discussion.

I need to know your story.

What unites
is stronger than
what divides us.

We are all.

We need to understand.
It's hard.
Build a solid identity.

Two nations in one.

It was the authorities.
I am.
We are all.

The image fits beautifully! Love this line "I need to know your story" and the last stanza.
