Time Pieces
TIME PIECES
grandfather clock
time so easy to take apart
this child
with broken heart
couldn’t piece back together
that moment
she frowned and closed the door
i checked my watch
second hand stopped
gone forever more
summer vacation
hour hand
locked on 3:00 o’clock
minute hand
but a tick tock away
“tick tock” hooray!
in my closet
out of body out of mind
out of time
nor even strong wind
can rattle the door
