Very nice, Gavin. The boundary fence is at once a recognisable Australian image for me, but it also carries global implications. This poem has multiple layers of meaning for me.
Thanks for your comments, Leanne. I appreciate them very much.
All good things.

Ah, the sunlight glinting off barbed wire, whether for humans or other types of animals. Boundary fence could also mean a neighbour that is not necessarily considerate, but you hope things might change.
