Hourglass

Time

machine

forged of ice

frozen days gone

today boils away

strange mists of yet to be

combined circuitry and steel

Volta’s great gift the battery

excites offerings, babe or granny

variances from the range of our lives

ignore their screams as bodies crisp and char

dials spin a dervish dance tuning

somewhen, future or past perfect

utopia’s joy reigned/reigns?

a flash—children laughing

grandparents hold hands

results don’t lie

as you lose

all this

Time
