A Dream of Watches and Clocks
©March 10th, 2019
By Vijaya Sundaram
All the watches were glowing
All the clocks struck one together
No mice ran up them
A cat ran down one.
Blood on clock-face.
Mouse-tail hanging down,
Swinging back and forth,
Back and forth,
While Foucault’s Pendulum
Swung the earth
Round and round
Round and round.
A dream that never ended,
While the galaxy spiralled away
Into infinite nothingness.
