HOURGLASS
He stared
at the hourglass and it reminded him of two hearts emprisoning
time forever flowing down, stopping only when the sand ran out.
One twist of the wrist and the sand flowed again. It would go on
forever, time would never end.
He thought about her
in this way, about the love between them. A look, a smile, a
kind word made the glass flip over, the sand running down again
to measure their aging. He wondered if it was like that for her
also, an hourgalss that was sealed, two hearts exchanging their
measure and never allowing the outside to stop the flow.
It happened one day
that time did end and he turned the glass on its side, when the
sand had half emptied the top and half filled the bottom. Time
had stopped and there they were trapped forever.
