Between Men and Birds

Fisher East

A wall, of iron wires and nylon threads,

stands around the vegetable pads in the country.

There are birds, flesh of the air,

caught on the wall,

made by the flesh that walks on the earth.

It is a war, unnecessary though,

between men and birds,

between flesh and flesh.

I took the photos to make a true record of the war, not for thesake of artistic photography, but for the sake of truth. The wall makes the originof as well as the equipment for the war.  "Something there is that doesn't love a wall."
