Life is

Joe Wells

folded in parts

inside

a time-capsule.

I can’t go back.

Time marches

to beats

of a heart,

forward just forward,

clockwise,

in perpetuity.

Make me.

Just make me

that second hand.

So, I may revisit

the same places,

every minute

round the clock

till time lives

through me,

for an eternity…
