between.

i’m looking at death, you’re looking at life.

but if we could both meet in the middle somewhere

then we will both get to live a little.

the important thing is genes, i guess.

i cry.

look at our fingers.

*looks at fingers*

makes me think about

life and death and everything between.

we laugh at our shadow play

not with ugliness or bitterness,

but with tenderness.

you delight.

  1. “And anything in between.” Powerful stuff. I read once that we have two dates that mark of entry and exit from our current existence. And between the two dates is a dash “in between”. It is what we do with the dash that matters. Another great post to start my week. Thank you.
