The Watch
I saw it glitter
on the walk outside my door
a watch with no hands
the band was old
and cracked
the crystal scratched and dull
the universe consists
of bits of time
measured in a universal mind
the stellar stopwatch
ticks its way
from cosmic to mundane
how may we be measured
perhaps by the tossing curls
of a young girl's hair
cascading ringlets
singing in memory
perhaps by piercing loss
of what was close
yet all too distant
youth is dragging
chains of time
behind it
age will long for time
but fail to grasp
in a world where
no one escapes unscathed
time has kept us captured
perhaps the watch
with no hands
its handlessness endearing
will grant us time
to be human once again
