a swiss watch

fine and unmade

isn’t on me

but lives in me

-

When I look at it

I see great

opportunity 

 to loose the rifles,

and grow trees 

at our feet

-

When I look at it

I wanna climb

up the clouds

grab at the stars

and fall in love.

-

When I look at it

I break inside

cause I cant

ever be close enough

-

When I look at it

I wanna cut

out my lungs

and wash them

let them dry

in great breath

-

When I look at it

I know why

robins call out

the sea waves

and the trees creak

-

When I look at it

My questions die 

like the hands

on broken clocks

-

When I look at it

My hands stop

they wont work

‘cept the good thing is

My hand arent broke

time 

itself 

has

broken.

-

I rest now 

like a timepiece

with no need

for winding
