Notes About The Poem

Image result for images of pocket watches like lockets

Where the Locket Goes

A new time, enveloped inside mine
Keeps ticking aloft besides
And slides the locket of her mother
Beyond the socket of the wayside
Opens diversity into plain view
Where others place their often misguided
Open-faced mindless guffaw over
The mantle of deceit, where she sits
Like she is the queen of eternity
But she can’t keep that locket
If it means that time eludes the father
Of all the worlds money, which opens
When she befalls the worship of the uncanny
Where leviathans keep their beck
And over the side of Egypt, the call
Bellows below the falling of the wayside
Where a locket grows eternal questions
Where her mother, that of nature cries
And beneath all factions that crawl
Those that think they are right
Mistake the ruling of the supremacy
Of the father
Tick    tock, tick         tock, tick
Tock
