Wait

A poem of the transitions between joy and tragedy.

Careless skipping,
No thoughts in mind,
Just the breeze,
The sound of rushed breaths,
Chirping in the distance,
Buzzing so close in the ear.

Wait.

Tripping clumsily,
One thought in mind,
Pain.
The sounds of an ambulance,
The clinks of metal,
Voices so close in the air.

Wait.
