Indecision
Indecision
swooping down
jeopardy’s scattered shadows jump up
bouncing back then surging forth
tender heart scrapes against rocks
and hardened faces
out of line
either or fleeing from cold context’s
hungry beast
disoriented in fogs of numb pacing
inertia starves out undulating choices
leaves the inner essence blank
unstable
adrift on a horizon less sea
foot tapping question demands resolution
better to risk or to fail
