The Clock
December 2, 2021
As the sunset draws nigh,
and I begin to notice the time,
I wonder what to do until I die,
until the clock finally chimes.
The flowers bloom nicer than before,
and I embrace their thousand thorns.
The time drips until there’s none,
the price of having great fun.
The stone walls may begin to crack,
but I will stay intact.
The sky may break open one day,
but I have yet to fade away.
From my place between earth and sky.
In the end, the clock is still mine.
