Being in-between.
No home.
No space of your own.
—
You try to choke back
everything that you need,
the way you choke back water
as you drown.
—
The feeling of panic
surrounding your body,
taking the form of the water
around you
until the depths of the ocean floor.
—
Being in-between.
No home.
No space of your own.
—
How much further can you go?
How much longer can you hold onto consciousness?
—
You’re flailing
thrashing
fighting to get to the surface.
—
You can make it.
