Commentary: The vertical layout of this migration tanka not only enhances its sociopolitical theme but also visually strengthens its symbolic meaning. It's a poignant commentary on the zeitgeist of our times.

And my one-line/horizontal haiku below could be read as a prequel to Leroy's:

mile after mile of barbed wire penetrating a migrant's dream
