On the Cusp 10 March 2016

Always teetering 

on the edge

Ever at the cusp of 

Now and 

Then and 

When

Unsteady  

shifting sands

Unreliable  

horizon

Unable to 

Turn back

Unwilling to

Move forward

Suspended 

Here 

but

Here changes

Daily

By breath

With heartbeat

(there is a cusp of the heart as well)
