Week 19: In Between

5/8/2014

I squish 

the bug on my bathroom floor
without a second thought, running

away after my foot lifts
from the ground, leaving

the remains for someone else
to remove. Yet, hours later,

when I return it’s still there, on
the floor, and it’s not dead,

but dying. With dismay I
think of how we measure life,

by days and months and years,
but do we ever measure

dying? How long it takes to die,
how long the bug I fearfully

squished lies between life
and death on the bathroom

floor.

    What is the 52?

    The 52 project is simple: for an entire year, I'll write one poem a week. I will continue and complete this project through 2014.
