The Space In-Between

The space in-between
The wall
And the washing-machine
Is small…

This post currently has no responses.

The space in-between
The wall
And the washing-machine
Is small.

I can measure it between
Thumb and forefinger
And yet
That is where I linger.

I crawled in
Not to fall.
A place
To be safe.

And small.

For I have two fine feet,
But am standing
Upon none.
My head is not of brick,
But nor is my conscience clean;
I,
I am the space
In between.
