LIFE Poem: Third Place, by Kelsy Melton

While the world is as far there
As it is here, let me find that
Third place

Like the place of open space
Of h o r i z o n length arms
Squeezing the sea
Or within the canopy of
Gently s a i g trees
w y n

Leave me be dangling freely
My feet over the cliffside
Of a mountainous cloud
Where I count bubble mounds
Laid atop the sea me
beneath

Trap me under the blanket
Where your love is free
Even triiipppled. That third place
Where our hearts are div/ded
Only by skin and bone
