It's Still Life

A Little Night Music

The clock’s ticking toward midnight,
and it ticks forward and forward
and still forward more
like some shimmering star
sending signals to the moon,

and time is a minute long
and eighty-nine years wide,
and another page
of someone’s past is written
into this colour-blind night.
