In Between

Like the twig between the teeth
And
The tongue between the cheeks,
Like the staple between the pages
And
The words between the lines,
Like the truth between the lies
And
The death between the lives;
Us -
Running through this indentured cell of
Dentures -
The twigging of the soul passes
And
it takes a twigging moment
To twig between the minds
the meaning of
- Us:
Here and Ever After
- in between the realms
of Hades and Paradise.
