Kairos On The Deathbed Comments

The time in between is supposed to be a moment of clarity, the 'moment of truth', or as the ancient Greeks put it, the 'kairos'. It's about confronting the moments in life which determined the course of it, and perhaps seeing things with unfettered vision. And yes, it is the 'opening', the right time to see it all without obstruction. I hope that helps a little.

I think you evoke an imagined person's end-of-life consciousness interestingly and well, and share the reflections in an original voice, as always. I'm not sure about something in the first stanza: you seem to contrast the first & last breaths, and then 'the time in between'. Does 'the time in between' mean ALL of the person's life? Is THAT the 'opening' you refer to in the first line (I think that's where it is) of the 2nd stanza?
