Listen to poem:

Telling Time At Midnight

Telling Time at Midnight
David J Walker

reclaiming night bright elevations
rearranging parked stars 
in distant constellations 

i am dumbstruck	
		gazing up

at the answers to questions 
			we have yet to ask

the clock tower pinnacle 
points to the heavens 

Striking each chime			
on time

and lingers at midnight
hidden from
 the morning sun 
calling
revolving
		dissolving 
before the dawn
