The Clock that no Longer Tells Time
I am no longer of use. That much is clear. They pass me by like I’m furniture— just another shape gathering dust in the corner of the kitchen where light rarely lands. My face, once proud, is smudged now— not by time, but by its absence. I used to hold their mornings together: 6:45, the hiss of the kettle. 7:02, cereal spiraling into bowls. 7:58, the door slammed...

She tells me
Apparently, I was a naughty boy At three, Disappearing in a shopping centre, Lost for what felt like hours. Legend has it, The infant siren song caught air-conditioned wind And led the search party to a curtained grotto. She tells me, there, they found My talent on display, A song and dance before a giant mirror, While curious stranger neighbours Changed their clothes. I don’t believe...

Premium Member Dust Quells What Time Tells
Dust coats mementos in treasure trove In a veil that palls recall with a shroud. It dims the past with repast of neglect, That taints memories with fading, settling light. Echoes become fainter, scenes blur, The sharp clear focus softens in the listless mist As dust pervades relentless, unstoppable It quickens the quell that time tells Neglected memories to fade, be lost and...

The Mirror Tells
The mirror tells 'no cop in sight', So hit the gas, slow bus up there, Stop sign swings out, red flashing light, Swerve left, dumb kid, gave her a scare … My rearview shows I'm safely past, But that brat's face, how close it came. Oh, that's behind now, get home fast … It's me who matters in life's game! But why on...
