the time eater

who is a friend of mine

climbs into courtyards of giants on twine

on a limb of the future

a creature divine

the time eater tips the grim reaper with gold

a moment, three winks, tick-tocking untold

the eater of ages rocks up on his toes

time eater flying, the time eater runs

a second, a twinkle, a century gone

his breeze of a coat tail holds eons and all

must follow his lead back over the wall
