Halfway.

Halfway between heaven and hell, I tossed my troubles in the wishing well, Wishing, well….. Halfway home , I heard you howling down the highway….. Halfway between the Hope and the rope, The neck and the noose, There, I’ll be , Hanging , Too … Halfway Between home , a welcome Restingplace my feet are Free to roam , barefit, And the bow On the John boats That journeys On, There I am , Too , Trying to find My way Back , Back to you Halfway Between the bowl of earth , Broken as the breath I tore from the chest , Heaving with the heaviest matter , And the edges of the universe Where shooting stars fall Like fireflies in the pond , Disappearing , There I go . There , I go. Halfway between The leaves , lollygagging Eloping with the night airs cool caress Quiet as your eyes When they made me Give you up to whatever God We could believe in , because of you Because those Loose leaves , Leaving with no goodbye on their Little lips and The bones beneath my fingertips, I break , I break, too . Halfway between the heart, We all have come And each heart that beat beat beat Beckoning both the likes of you and I, Breath is held, And the hurricane’s eyes; There am I, there am I, Tossing stones in the belly of the sea, Singing a song, A song for thee.
