the spaces
in between time,
pockets of atoms, shadows
of seconds that fill up the half pauses.
That catch
in the throat, the motes
of dust that
cascade
in shafts of sun, languidly
drifting in
and out.
You exist in between
the prism of light
and shade, the sparks
of seconds shot through fabric
that dance
in semi-quavers. A sharp
staccato now drumming
in a once
quiet heart.
