Wonder
I came upon a gadget ;
Of mangelled copper and
Steel. Pendulems long and
Sharp , weighted heavy that
Swung as dead as a body on
The hangman’s noose.
Fragile chains attached to
Pins and hooks, drew my
Peering eye to mesmerize
The click of cogs within.
Shadows sharp as razors
Edge confound my sences
Looking on. Rings of brass
Stacked tight in rows that
Hummed and sparked
With puff’s of smoke and
Smelled of sulphur !
What a marvel this device
That wakes in me such
Wonder!
