I once had a stopped watch myself.
By chance its time had come and so,
pressed into stone cold hands I barely knew.
its hours were not ours,
but the long moments lost
between a mother and her son.
Flinch not, it's true she did not, would not,
could not. I could not do the same.
Tell me, I thought, is it time that takes its toll,
or the toll that takes its time?
Ponder that, under the meadow of cuckoo spit and rhyme.
