It is the moment that exists

at the cusp of forever,
in the microseconds just before
the act that can never be undone or
the words that can never be unsaid.
It is the moment
when a single kiss
may change the future
of humanity,
a single turning away
may seal the crypt of a heart,
when a hand is slowly
forming a taut fist,
or when the phrase,
"Go ahead, they'll never
miss it"
is being weighed.
Universes
hold their breaths
at these
pinpoints.
