time
i watch this clock tick
faster and slower the minutes pass
can you stop father time?
what lies beneath this hour-glass?
a frail little frame of a child
her hair in little pigtails
as scraggly as a weed
a malnurished baby
who has been forced to grow in the sunset
will the glass fail to crack?
release the magic sand
and slow time
make it come to a still
will you freeze my last breath?
