Between, Inside, and Beyond

Coffee House Writers / Ivor Steven

I can hear the knocking,
and the place is rocking,
but my cell needs unlocking.

Between the sun and moon
is there a spare room
for me and my teaspoon?

Inside outer space,
is there a magic place
for me and my bookcase?

Beyond the vast universe,
is there an angelic nurse
to reverse life’s curse?
