Time
Never, never did she wear a watch.
Some thought she was afraid
of time passing her by,
while she maintained that she
liked her hands bare.
"It's just weight", she said
"A wait for whom?", they asked.
Maybe it was the burden of ages
that she couldn't bear,
when she said she liked her hands bare.
Amidst her poignant nonchalance,
lied a weight she couldn't balance.
She got breathless with every passing minute.
The failure to keep account
of the hands
which made her, this fragile creature
who never understands.
Never, never did she wear a watch.
Drifting through time
was her speciality.
