In the Interim
© 2009 Vernon Miles Kerr
In the interim ‘tween dark and dark
We scrape, we scratch, we endure—
Assuming import.
As that interim narrows to a slit
We scramble to gather
Shreds of legacy,
Hoping they will live on
In the interim of others.
Would that we rather leave
Shreds of relevancy.
But why bother—those others’
Interims are narrowing too.
