__________________where are you really from?
that the face itself is not proof of its situation
to seen in a document
to have your face in a folder
marked in a catalogue of clues leading to
a location of another face to face
the trace of your name. to be drawn
as an outline of a dotted leap across
oceans and have your brow a reminder
a summary of salutes. from your crown
to another crown, for a crown.
to have your face stapled on a corner
to seen as a of a specified nature
as a report of every border you have boarded
