Between Bars

“Between these metal bars and shops they dwell – ”

I can’t swim, only overflow these banks –

The question’s already been asked or at least, answered –

Ghosts, like lizards, are creatures of chance sighting and caught breath.

Used or unused?

Some things are best handled obliquely, like a cat avoiding scritches.

Uncertainty as practice – a valuable skill.

Few people get space for free – so self respect is an act of defiance.

Picture two bodies bound by gravity. Now picture the theoretical third point between.

Blessed are those who walk out in stillness – away from what they know best.
