wait



it is the moment of 
surprise
the second before i gasp
out of shock
the closed eye mid-blink before
sun blinds
the instant before you
jolt awake
in that half-sleep dream 
of falling off the cliff
the opening of mouth 
to form words 
devastating

hanging
suspended

held tenuously

floating
waiting
impending


something
anything

nothing
