why my clock still blinks

by Indigo Tempesta

I’ve given up

on clocks, these days

Time

Is

Time is—I can think

of so many things.

It is direction, measurement.
Time: a dimension.

Time is motion translated into formlessness. That’s

what they tell me. Time

is the burden of the body. The body is heavy with it.

 

Motion and formlessness, trading flesh for speed;

I’ve given up on clocks these days.

Time is a dimension, that’s

what they say. I believe
this

is why we die.

Excellent work. The first stanza is outstanding. "Time...the body is heavy with it" sublime.
