Overdue
d6
It takes too long
to finish an epic.
Not the writing, but the audit.
To inspect every nooks and crannies
with a magnifying glass.
God is in the details;
no mere mortal can take on a task so divine!
It takes too long
to complete a dance.
Not the jive itself, but the time needed
to integrate movement with sound.
Something innately unnatural turns natural,
and joy is only found after too much failure,
sometimes.
It takes too long
to make a move.
Not the pushing of the piece, but the consequence
of deciding to leave the 7th rank forever.
It just started, and things are quiet,
but that white diagonal is a permanent gaping hole
asking to be attacked.
It takes too long
to finally learn that taking the plunge
is better than staring down from the cliff,
finding excuses to step down
until you become part of the mountain,
like so many others.
