I stand in the middle of the minute
listening to the vacant silence
breathing in bits of time
savoring, indulging, snuggling
the ticks and the tocks
my heart beats blobby beats
against the steady cadence
of the clock on the wall
tick
tock
thump
thump
flutter

"I stand in the middle of the minute" - you drew me in with this line and I could not help but continue.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Julie! That line is so evocative and quite thrilling, as well. Lovely use of "sound language," too. This is such a rhythmic poem, and one that really captures a single moment. :D
