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,
Those others’ interims
Are narrowing too.
