Living in limbo
is a half-packed suitcase
and a never fully-decided
wardrobe.

Living in limbo
is friendship-
not quite followed through
so no one is left in the lurch.

Living in limbo
is seizing the opportunity
of the moment before
both you and it are gone.

Living in limbo
is hovering between
the present and the future:
unable to pause, unable to fast forward.

Living in limbo
is a gift of growing time
before being drawn
into a new routine.
