Is the killer the waiting or the knowing?
by Shannon McEwenStanding at the door
Willing it to open
Reveal whatever is beyond
Yet deliberating
Appropriate attire
Umbrella or parachute?
Thinking whatever is waiting
Is more manageable
Than the waiting itself
Except that tight knot
Between breast and brain
Throbbing to a rapid heart
And the original question
Is it the waiting?
or the revealing?
