extending
intersecting in
                                 perpendicular bliss
creating space
          for    blue
                   red
                   yellow
                                to exist
          within this monochromatic world
trying to restrain
               contain
               refrain
but failing
                   as they make their escape.

Response to Gerald Murphy's "Watch"

 

time

stopped

standing

still

i'm stuck

wind me up

and watch

my wheels

spin

i'm drawing you

in

tick-tock

click-clock

seconds

minutes

hours

how do you

keep track of time?

in fleeting moments

it's gone so fast

but pain and sorrow

always seem to last

desperately

hanging

on to

tick-tock

click-clock

winding down

time
