Liminal-for Michelle The tide would turn soon. A liminal moment between coming in, going out. I wanted to be with it. The moon full, the bay awash with its light. Walking in semi-lightness to the west end of town. Buoy bells, fog horns, gulls, the sea lapping at the shore. How blessed to have this time? The instant between breathing in and breathing...

I exist in liminal spaces
I exist in liminal spaces Forever in the shade despite my longing to be warmed by the sun A foggy filter laying over every scene before me I'm always in love with life, in love with death and crushed by everything in between Flightless Delighted by beauty and plagued by sadness Only birds can get close to God I whisper...

Nothing really changes in an airport
Have you ever thought about the permanence of airports? Flights dock and depart. The people flow in and out, ever-changing, a whirl of color and language and time. But not the concrete. Not the tile. The cornerstones always remain. Decades of stories, manifold fears and dreams, held between each molecule. Here we are timeless. Existence escapes the construct of seconds that parade forward. In an airport, you simply are....

Forever Monday: To Will Lightfoot
We didn’t know ‘Til time happened to decompose. Missed my friends, classes, teachers From two days to two years. I want to go back. Get your bags and go pack Because we’re going to the past. You’re my only gateway; I hope you last. We’ve lost too much, And we’ve fallen out of touch. Time is going to stop today, And it will be forever Monday....

Premium Member Liminal Space-Surreality
Classical infusion Beethoven’s “ode to joy” Playing on blaring audiophile speakers annoy Purposely looped to destroy vagrants with electronic music Blends of subversive elements and anxious acoustic Solution to loitering the bodega doo dropping Spicy Shiitake broth smelling pissy store front, Jaded daily stunt, at midnight wino corks popping Abruptly segwaying into a film from one music scene to a...

Premium Member Liminal - Two Worlds
The space in-between Two worlds When we transition From dreamland To harsh reality That moment When you are Neither here Nor there Traversing The barrier Crossing The line Stepping in Stepping out Over the threshold Negotiating the border The ready, steady Before the go The rising red curtain Before the show Liminal lostness The uncomfortable Homeless Non-place The wilderness of un-belonging The chrysalis of transformation The journey has begun Simultaneously ending Over we go.. Through we push Pay the ferryman See you on...

Premium Member Liminal Spaces Creep Me Out
Something about liminal spaces gives me the willies in a scary way. They raise the tiny hairs on the back of my neck by my C2-Vertebrae I feel like an ominous evil spirit is going to whisper in my ear and startle me There is a quickening of my heart, and I feel threatened in some tiny...
