Eighteen years, trapped in a box of wood and glass
Caught in cogwheels
Pinned like butterflies
And chiming every quarter hour

There is time we waste
Time we spend
Time we lose
And there is the time caught in that wooden clock
Which is true.

I took it not because it was mine
But because it was me
Because it had ticked away every second of my life
Because that brass second hand swept the empty moments away like broken glass
And left the future clean

They
Screamed
Like
Children
Fighting over a sweet
So I
Me
I took it off them.

and left them to divide up the record collection and my baby pictures
and throw china plates at each other
at least until the divorce went through

Put the clock on my wall and watched it
once again, that true solid timekeeper
time might fly or crawl
But not in the presence of my clock

And for nine years
Polished, shining, loved, hung straight
In every new house
In every new town
Opposite the front door
Always, fucking always, do you see?
Always the same

She, indomitable spirit of an unstoppable harpy She
Took it today
Off my wall
Every quarter hour I wait for something
Long gone unnoticed, but always heard
And the house is silent

And I don't know what time it is anymore.

Pretty good for something you pulled out of your ass at the last minute,
but it washed up just fine. :-D

She's a woman, after all.
Anything coming out of a proper woman's ass is compact, clean and carries with it a hint of cinnamon.



Anyway...this was good. You know it, I know it.
I tend to like more traditional forms of poetry, as I get either bored or irritated with pieces that stray from the standard. This is typically because a lot of people don't know how to work with the style. You, on the other hand, do, and as such there's nothing I've read of yours that I haven't enjoyed.

So...thanks for that.

I like it that you understand the lyrical quality of poetry - that not every sentence has to end. That sometimes emotions are little more than shards of a whole, where half are mysteriously missing and the half that are left leave us with an undefinable sense of all that is possible - but through it all courses the emotion...sure and steady.

I think you could clean up some of your phrases, but overall, the shards are there.

I've just realised why I hate poetry so much. It's because of my job. I read your poem and all I could think was a list of poetic devices you have used....

In San Dimas, the clock is always ticking.

This was good. I thought for sure the clock was going to get destroyed and time would come to a stop or something. Nicely avoided!

I'm spreading a plastic sheet over the wall to my right at this very moment so that when I pull the shotgun trigger, the brains won't stain the wall.

Thanks Circe, for driving me to suicide. I'll be haunting you, your children and your grandchildren till you all DIE BITCH DIE!!
