Slit by Susan Isla Tepper

Between yesterday & today
a small slit of time
presented
the way you sneak open
an already sealed envelope
careful not to tear 
Time opened to us
unbending; some would say
by chance.
I believe the only option 
available— required
to keep us going.
The rest receded: 
filthy, in waves 
cresting to smash a shoreline
dropping coiled debris
the likes of scrambled brains 
& those emotions 
no longer to be contained.
