Between Cup and the Lip

Speak to me now

I'd call your name

But my memory fails

I stare into the night

For I am blind

But my ears can hear

Speak to me now

Though the thunder rolls

And lightning flashes

I still can hear

Betwixt and between

The thunder rumble

And flashing light

Though memory fails

and blindess follows

I still can hear

And mark it so

Between cup and the lip

Neither one nor the other

Bewixt and between

No answer deters me not

The polished dome reflects

The gleaming tiles accept

The knee that shows respect
