Experiencing the Wait
I often think about how much time we spend waiting vs experiencing. Tell me about your experience with the wait. Any genre, any style. Winner receives adoration and praise. Between 15-100 words.
The taste on my tongue
lingers
in some impossible realm,
Incubated and frozen
between
the bitter and the sweet.
Only in this anticipation
of no expectation
can my hope survive,
my will can remain alive.
It is all about the balance,
the limbo
of limbic proportions,
I am to remain here,
I believe,
For infinite eternity,
the breath held-
Caught between the taste in
the cloying saltiness,
Like that of the wife-legend of Lot;
the shifting of flesh
the moment before
the pillar was formed.
