the moment between the thought and the needle

there’s a moment between the thought of a loaded needle before putting the loaded needle in, and that can change the whole

something becomes something else, it is nothing right now, it’s going away

the old other, the familiar other, the intuitive, comfortable, too comfortable maybe, but our feet always seek the warmest sunspot on the floor

or it’s simply evolution, flux, metamorphosis, mutabilty, not an earth shattering reversal, just a side step

or do we seek the deepest path we have already worn?

The Heart wants what it wants – or else it does not care -Emily Dickinson
