The Liminal
11 April 2020 Saturday Poetry Prompt: lines &/or threshold
Bent past/ backwards
through & over the threshold of
hope
This prisoner
of all realities that belong
to the Other
Still you pace\ still you piss these
people
off & without remorse
Without embracing
that wall that you keep hitting
— running up to
Then you inserted yourself
into every photograph
at this party
even if only just your legs
while your head scoops into each conversation
though
/backwards & not really talking
about the same thing
as anybody else
The liminal grabs you
insists
that you participate
in some form of this reality
J.D. Harms 2020
