How to Listen

The moment stood
            balanced

The moment was
            suspended
            by tenuous breath
            and hope
            and fear

The moment was
            a fulcrum
            a catalyst
            a spell

Its liminality unrealized
Until the threshold breached

But
            to pause
            to inhabit the space
            just before gravity takes hold.

The grain of sand.
The pebble.
The avalanche.
