forever in an instant

by Rachelle Howe

IMPROV
breath
catches in
her throat,
trapped, while
stomach clenches;
screaming its
displeasure at
the sudden waves
comprised of
indigestible butterflies.

air is bled through the
sponge tissue --
lungs and heart, --
the previously captured
pocket of oxygen
released...

lips in full throttle,
warning
of an up and coming
forever.


[yet all it took --
for time to
go up in flames --
was an instant.]

all it took
was a blink.
