I am the in between
I have lived in your gut
And I occupy spaces
Between objects of desire
I am repulsion and
I am attraction
You know me by your breath
And by all small sensations you
Regret you have ignored
I smell of truth and fate
You cannot handle me
And I am subject to no will
I take heed of ancestry,
But never barter with the living
Who share the burdens of pain
Which I must exact by their
Unseen connections, their powers
Of fellowship in suffering and all
Other holy consecrations.
I am a blessing and a curse.
I educate.
