- In the middle
- where there is neither light nor dark
- there is gray
- on gray
- on gray.
- In the middle,
- sometimes not loving,
- nor hating,
- but feeling
- nothing.
- In the middle,
- where there is not warm
- nor cold
- but nothingness,
- into more numbness,
- and wet is not wet,
- nor dry, dry,
- and dust has no meaning.
- Should I eat?
- There is not food enough to fill the emptiness.
- Should I weep?
- There are not tears enough to
- end the pain.
- Should I ask?
- There are questions to which there
- should be no answers,
- never be answers
- and here we are,
- in the middle.
