by the time the train

by the time the train
pulls into the station, we
are ready or caught

off guard – it’s a delicate
balance, timing it just right

the space in between

even now, there is

even now, there is
a delicacy to the
way we hang on, not

a precise urgency, but
instead, a wing and a prayer

it’s a delicate

it’s a delicate

and maybe tomorrow

says very little

will always be

us, a surround-

time tries on each

were delicate
capes, not to be
messed with, balled

balance, pulls on
each minute like
they were loosening
petals
with seconds
to spare
