Between 10.30 and 11.00

Cleaning with care
the terrace
while out there
someone
is deciding
your fate:

between 10.30 and 11.00.

“Let’s see!”,
the verdict:

waiting procrastination,
however.
Now
the hot iron of confidence
to relax well tissues and muscles,
then
the transparent glass of relief
to smile
at your anxiety.

Here
you do not go to any place.

Here
you are gazing upon
status quo.
