In The Middle

From the book of poetry 'Animal Souls' by Michael Fisher

It is a barley controllable urge

To just let it go

Tears and years of emotion converge

And tell me so

You see, I am not filled with the strength

That dilutes hard life

So I can hardly contemplate 'the other'

It is not so easy to do

So, like you, I just carry on

Staying in the middle

You see, I have been touched with tenderness

And only long for more

It's funny, what we live for

Insatiable desires for love and life

Money and death

It is a barley controllable urge

To just let it go

Tears and years of emotion converge

And tell me so
