how to keep?
to keep…
the candle stick from melting?
and the flame from burning..
to keep the sand from settling?
and the hourglass from turning
to keep the clock from ticking?
and the hands from turning
how to keep the stars still?
in their heavenly flight
and the sun from sinking?
out of sight
to keep mornings from veiling
into the half-light
and the days from turning
effortlessly into night
