In the Interim
© 2009, 2020 by Vernon Miles Kerr, VernonMilesKerr.com, WritersClass.net
In the interim ‘tween dark and dark
We scrape, we scratch, we endure—
Assuming import.
As that interim narrows to a slit
We scramble anxiously to gather
Shreds of legacy,
Scraps of relevancy,
Hoping they will live on
In the interim of others,
Until we remember,
Their interims
Are narrowing too.
