Cliffhanger

That feeling when
you can't quite feel
whatever that feeling is - 
Like a threatened sneeze,
a word on the tip of your tongue,
the snippet of song
dancing
at the edge of memory,
A penultimate chord hung with unbearable tension -

 - but it's just your soul,
too frightened to settle
into your lonely body,

And so you inch numbly along
a cliffhanger to your own life.
