Poetry: Identity

ANTICIPATION OF APPREHENSION

I can't wait I want it now
But I'm not sure of exactly how
The juices flow threatening to spill
I cringe away as I embrace the thrill
The lights too bright without it's too dark
I can't feel what is in my heart
I can't see what's in my soul
Is it all but a gaping hole?
I want it bad yet I fear its spell
If there's no Heaven is there a Hell?
If when you die you continue on
Then what is evil if nothing is gone?
If you can't destroy but only redirect
Then there is only life and there's no death

    MIDLIFE

    And in the path
    Halfway between the house
    And the old dark barn
    I pause to witness a rebirth

    Suddenly the air around

    Mirrors Are Like That

    The texture of my skin
    as I run my fingers over the coarse fabric
    covering my soul;

    and I am reminded
    that
