It's Still Life

My Heart Goes Tick Tock

There
is
a
clock
in
my
room
whose
tock
ticks
with
the
beat
of
my
heart.

Each word is one syllable, mimicking the tick of a clock. I tried to upload an audio file of my own grandfather clock, but WordPress wants me to pay for that privilege. No thank you, not today.   ©Misky 2021 The clock above is not mine, unfortunately – it’s an Alex Chinneck sculpture.
