LADYSLIPPER

Digital photo collage by S. Auberle

THIS TIME BETWEEN

is a strange place.
I am not old,
yet youth is surely gone.
It's an empty place, waiting
for the void to fill
and I wander through it,
searching,
a little frightened,
a little sad
that it all went so fast.
Before I learned wild
or who I really was.
