Melting Clocks

A figment of imagination

crawling through

night

day

and evening.

 

Frisking through meadows

of stiff hands

and painted numbers,

this concept so lightly known as time,

has lived to contrive the clockwork

behind the functioning world.

 

It doesn't stand still; for it plans

escapes as swiftly as radio-waves.

 

Melting clocks tick away

at the hourglass of our fate.

 

Grain by grain...

time escapes the void we call life

and deceases us through the midst of anamnesis

and ideation.

 

It is all in our minds.
