In Between by Lesley Schneider

Lesley Schneider is a resident of Florence in Hampshire County. She writes and edits technical manuals for a living and was surprised and delighted to have this poem emerge from her pen.

In Between

In between the dying, I cook.

In between the crying, I plant.

In between the outrages, I smell flowers.

In between the madness, I take pictures.

In between the hand washing, I share pictures.

In between the sleepless nights, I do yoga.

In between the scenes of brutality, I play my harp.

In between the lockdown, I walk in nature.

The dark. The Light. The dark. The Light.

Balancing on the head of a pin.
