In Between

   In Between
by Chip Williford                                                

Fragments of stolen moments

Delivered spontaneously

Almost

Lasts forever

Remembered sporadically

Fettered to the past

Silently watching

Surviving

Another moment of uncertainty

Certainly

There is a way out

Is freedom

Ever

So burdensome

With out without

Carrying heavy secrets?

Quietly contemplating

Decomposed dreams

Dire Possible Outcomes

With furious longing

I watch you leave your being

As a fading smile

Already I feel

Your absence and presence become one
