The Dark Side<br />
Between Heaven and Earth<br />
Anne Baldo<br />
She was caught between heaven and earth when she died<br />
They say that’s the price of her suicide<br />
I hope she sleeps now where the poppies bloom white.<br />
She laughed with me only yesterday night<br />
Wreathing her hair with sweet columbine<br />
I hope she sleeps now where the poppies bloom white.<br />
Like a bird on the sea-strand she went out with the tide<br />
Flowers in her hair shone with searing sunlight<br />
She was caught between heaven and earth when she died<br />
Whispers of vampires haunted the night<br />
Staked through the heart so she couldn’t rise<br />
I hope she sleeps now where the poppies bloom white.<br />
The dark bells at our church were forbidden to chime<br />
At the crossroads she lies, as if marked by her crime<br />
She was caught between heaven and earth when she died.<br />
Light all the candles for Hades’ new bride<br />
For the Asphodel Meadows are impassably wide<br />
She was caught between heaven and earth when she died<br />
I hope she sleeps now where the poppies bloom white.<br />
