A tick and a tenth

A tick of a second, a tenth of a moment.

It was a pang. An angry blush to the face.

A sudden provocation or a declaration.

There's a waited breath, a silent prayer.

A hope, a dream, a chase of wild imagination.

It came like a storm and left faster than a vortex.

Cleanse my soul. Clear my mind.
Cut the tied knot and chop the thought block.

Cryptic as it may be,
Confounding as it should be,

Let the ticks of a second and the tenths of the moment decide.
