In Between

Sending love to wherever you’re reading

---

is it so greedy of me to 
want to live between the worlds
of the living and the dead?

is it so wrong of me to
dance among the beloved then to
drink among the flesh of their families?

like a speck that follows the direction of the wind 

is it so shameful of me to 
travel between the decay of once cradled bodies and 
those whose feet still feel the earth beneath them?

is it so blasphemous of me to
call on one God when the other can no longer serve me
to beg for the mercy of any who would listen to the pain? 

like an archivist of the lost churches

is it so greedy of me 
to live eternally and yet
to die continuously?

how can i choose between 
living and dying when
they are both so tempting to fall in?
