My confused clock, tak tik

















some taram taram,
little pa-pum pa-pum, hop drip drop

then
hocus-pocus!

as if those things never happened to us
as if I never knew the letters of your name,
never haunted your dreams
tiptoeing through your secret corridors
as if you never wished
to send me orchids
with purple lips,
to hand me a goblet and rouge dips
after our hungry, ominous
hopehunter sleeps,
to take off with me
having no return route

taram pa-pum
the music is tired

and

slowly

gives up

as if it's the time to
give up.

Thank you! Sometimes, like now, eyes are more beautiful than what they see.
