Final Hour

today I saw a minute hand
like a shooting star across a clock  
wishing the final hour  
felt like thirty six hundred seconds  
I’m aware it’s the same  
God knows I tried to slow time  
...but my tears ran anyway  
 
so I spent our last moments  
counting blinks and smiles  
and bad jokes  
hoping we’d laugh so hard  
it’d hurt more than our goodbyes  
...as precious as they’ve always been  
yet took for granted  
 
that hour we lived more than our whole lives  
 
and there I hoped  
for day light savings  
for a leap year  
for a glitch in the matrix  
 
if Jesus could walk on water  
than a grain of sand could defy gravity in an hour glass  
 
Can’t it?!  
 
and there we were  
like an eclipse in the sky  
when night and day coexist to exist  
the moment was everything  
 
...watching life and death’s equinox
