The opening to Mai Der Vang's poem, "Death in Captivity, a Surrender." An animal searches for its homeland. Say to the animal: here is your home, here is your livelihood, here in this fenced perimeter. Say to the animal: you are the last of your kind, that is why you must live. An animal migrates into a new body, senses the impulse to leave.
