Between

 

addresses, destinations, jobs

now and forever

floors, on the landing

what was and what will be

then and eternity

heaven and hell

heartache and true love

the sheet and the blanket

the lines on the pavement

sunset and sunrise

between it all

is me

 

Now

neither here nor there

not a baby nor an “elder”

somewhere out there

not flagrant, not plain

neither asleep, nor awake

but a different

state of consciousness.

Not only in between,

but also all inclusive.

Better than on the edge,

in between is safe and comfortable,

with a low affective filter

allowing me acquisition of ...

new language, life skills, love
