"Soon I will leave you
For a rendezvous with a white night."

"Ticking Time

The hour hand: how slowly we grow and change;
how our dreams stumble
whenever we try to move.
The minute hand: how rockets and bombs
hit us momentarily— if not our bodies,
then our souls.
The second hand: how misery
swoops down on us from the sky,
snatching away our kids,
our joy.
At times, I am tempted to remove
the battery from my rusty watch
and freeze all three hands—
but the watch is not only mine."
