so many languishing in the lulls
in the savage times between
cleaving to whatever they can
parched by the tedium of waiting
in anticipation of an embrace
that will enfold and take them
take them away from the shallows
to the deeper depths of significance
yet, when the moment is opportune
they cling to their facile securities
and sadly watch as the tide retreats
caught in the ‘tween of the ebb and flow
