Pocket Watch




















The gold kept in your pocket,
the engraving with my voice,
how it will remain unbroken,
how its ticking and elaborate structure
is like our existence--
each morning, over and over,
the eerie sound beneath my ear,
each night, the thoughts that perpetually carve me--
how they are like a labyrinth!
resulting in restless sleep.
