Boundary; noun, a line that marks the limits of an area; a dividing line.

Divided bloodlines and a pile of bones,

On either side, a river flows.

A river of blood, saffron, and green,

A different direction, a boundary unseen.

Farewells unheard in silent fears,

Tinted crimson in flowing tears.

Families, divided, a pervading void,

Paint-splattered teardrops now soak the soil.

Boundary: an imaginary line that leads to a chain reaction of events made real by bloodshed, and loss.
