Where is Kora when I need her?
citymusicmemorytimelovemortality
Where is Kora when I need her?
There is a moment
When worlds collide
Past present and future
Meet
In the space between
One breath and another
Barely registered
As a beat of a heart
The tick of a clock
When a step is
About to finish
The trailing foot ready to lift
As a thought pops
In and out of mind
With an image
Barely formed
Ears pricked for the slightest sound
When there is nothing to hear
But the silence
Between things
A glass in mid fall
The stillness before impact
The glint in the eye
Of a cat caught in headlights
The surprise
I am still here
When there is little
To hold me
For that moment
I can feel you near
As you were before
In that instant
As worlds collide
Protons explode
Electrons splinter
You are there
By my side.
