The Hepburns

Creature Of The In-Between

The summer sunshine turns

The sycamores see-through

And casts a purple shadow upon the road ahead of you

Squinting through the yellow leaves

At the patches of blue

Suddenly you realise you are translucent too

 

You are just a conduit

You are not meant to be seen

You are indeterminate

A creature of the in-between

 

All these grand old houses

Some converted into flats

Like empty white birdcages watched over by cats

Architecture of the ages

Edward, Ann, and George

All their family secrets, unwilling to disgorge

 

The same goes for the letters

And the parcels you deliver

Just a blank expression

An indifferent stare – yeah yeah

Because of the internet

It’s busier than ever

But in the hope and joy and pain

You never share – yeah yeah

 

You are just a conduit

You are not meant to be seen

Just an instrument of fate

A creature of the in-between
