Ticking

Ticking

A Poem by Donald Meikle

Tis not as often now

It's so much more intense

Causing echoing reverberations to shudder on

Kin to moon pulled oceans rising in unison


Then do the heavens twist on slowly

Offering boredom to comfort waiting souls

Creating day to day to sleepless nights of anger

Knowing uphill  hopeful wonder


Through eyes asquint comparing to now and then

It's not as often now

Clocking the ebbing flow

Known sparkles in bubbles of tension


Trying empty champagne promises

In rising twisting brightness

Callously waving salutations with

Knives hidden in grey passing clouds
