Artifact
The Clock
little boy holding pebbles
clutching rocks that cut
deep into trenches where he hides
and often decides to run upwards
climb the tilting clock
the monument of time and death
reminds him of dreams gone
and the lightning hours
when thoughts are black
and time stands still
the little hand on his forehead
and the big one
on his tongue.
