Concrete poetry, and empathy again

I decided to make a concrete poetry piece by hand. After writing fence in a fence shape at least seven times before it was good enough - because at the last link concentration would lapse and some letter would fall out of place - I have a renewed respect for monks who spent their lives copying manuscripts..

This piece connects to my on-going concern with conflict transformation and empathy. How good we are at building walls and fence to keep the Other out!
