I am the hole between your teeth, the bit your tongue cannot reach, where gristle annoys and the dentist torments.
I am the place behind the settee, where a child runs to hide and make their den and only those with the proper password gain entrance.
I am up there amongst the stars, the place man has always stared and yearned to be.
I am that unreachable spot where your arm slides in and your fingertips rake to reach for your fallen car keys.
I am the excuse for a relationship breakup. Something needed but without end.
I am the gap between train and platform which instills fear with every long stretched step.
I am a void where nothing yet everything exists. All will pass through me yet none will touch me.
I am the most used key on the keyboard, the long one your thumb taps to separate words and give them meaning.
I am the distance between two broken hearts desiring to reunite one day.
I am between land and atmosphere, the dwelling place of birds and metal dreams.
I am a gutter where a rolling ball aims to avoid.
I am the difference between feeling uncomfortable and intimately loved.
I am needed yet often derided. I maintain order yet too much of me alienates.
I am devoid of clutter. Those with a messy disposition try to destroy me. Those with wisdom create me to bring order.
I am the crack between the curtains where the morning sunlight pours in to waken and annoy.
I am above your head and beneath your roof. To reach me requires a ladder yet many are fearful to see me.
