in between

Like a balloon filled with air and tied at the neck

Released

Slowly deflating 

No fear but the ending

Molecules unstuck

Particles leeching back into where 

they began like a song

The slow fade out, living some kind of climax

Before the repetition starts

Or the jam

An unwinding of structure that leads to silence

Before the band picks up again

And in that silence

What silence

Some kind of gasp or breathlessness

Or simply a continuum 

Part of the music

Or part of the in between
What floats away
