Time and Destination

relentless clock
anchors the room
snapping as it ticks
amplified tenor

animated arms
sweep the arc
arrows point
hours passed

flashes 
photographed the past
sense 
explodes the seconds

henchmen trail hours
summarize 
darkness 
time devours

silence holds no treasure 
fragrance without a breeze
sunlight looms foreboding 
aft of thorny trees

life held glitter
forged a steel refrain
remembrance blotted the stain 
hands of time shall chain

the player’s is script written
with title and refrain 
curtains fall
silence blankets life’s vacant stage
