60 seconds of silence
Hands on the clock
Lift from the face
Human in their new endeavor...
Hop between each tick
Deep, weary steps
A rut in time's circumference
Swirled and decorated
A tragic love story
Danced between numerals
Minutes to hours,
Hours to seconds,
Hand in hand
Around and a around
Until the minute is up.
