"The In-Between"

I ripped the pages of 
that tired old story 
from the heart, a body of work

buried the misdiagnosed slanders
then wiped their mouths
with the back of my spoon

the feed they found,
passed the disingenuous time;
some found...

They’re a pair of jeans, and to the ground they fall,

Hungry earthworms
Forever entombed in the bowels
Of mother earth
Awake

Defy this asceticism and prostrate
For your ultimate destiny

They do not placate
Those dethroned, deprived spirits
Of...

In life there are many doors 
And 
Windows
Where some people passing 
And find 
What 
they want...
And other passing 
And
Fail to find
What
they need. 
You can be loved 
By few people 
And hated
By the majority of them...
