Borderline<\/p>\n

By<\/p>\n

Jennifer Angelina Petro<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I live on the borderline.<\/p>\n

I live on the edges of your awareness<\/p>\n

And of my own.\u00a0 I survive<\/p>\n

Hidden in plain sight, and can,<\/p>\n

Without knowing it has happened,<\/p>\n

Shimmer in and out of two worlds;<\/p>\n

I drift into little sleeps of the mind,<\/p>\n

Little trances of sunlit memories,<\/p>\n

Right as we are speaking and you<\/p>\n

Would never know, and sometimes<\/p>\n

The intensity of what I feel<\/p>\n

When I am alone\u2014<\/p>\n

The brilliance of the darkness,<\/p>\n

The keenness of the pain,<\/p>\n

Bloom into a way of being<\/p>\n

That says: \u201cDeath, come to me,<\/p>\n

I cannot bear this anymore.\u201d\u00a0 And then I do\u2014<\/p>\n

I bear it some more, and somehow I breathe,<\/p>\n

Find a pulse, and where my feet are standing,<\/p>\n

And rise, slipping into the present moment,<\/p>\n

And into my body, and into you,<\/p>\n

And I wonder where I have been<\/p>\n

For so long.<\/p>\n
