#1532 - ye know not the hour



1532

5.71

11.iii.24

ye know not the hour

or

ways of looking at a clock

for time pieces / clock series

 

a petal strew superstition

telling when where

 

an ache lies in the body thereof

 

as faceless

for a spin

 

hair’s breadth

like a stop at the top

 

one sees the mouse

the blind run up

 

wink of the knowing

an insect tells its wings

 

is there enough blood in?

 

a bird sway limb

this breeze and then becalmed

 

at certain hours

it sours the clock

 

last moments choked down

and where in the day am I?

 

it’s pointing every way in turn

so moons and planets go

 

see only minutes here

 

the epoch herd

flip digital

 

come kookaburra laughter

and at the umpteenth round

 

here a clock throws questions

 

a clock of clouds to stare  

 

and a clock looks back

pours smoke forth

 

you might see just your time reflect

 

so we are observed
