counterclockwise

counterclock

tick I have somehow misplaced the moment

tick when the minute hand was touched by God

tick and my clock became a countdown.

tick Clearly, I wasn’t prepared

tick for my perspective on life

tick to be more reverse

tick than forward.

tick And now desperately I fear

tick not the coming end,

tick but the time when

tick there is no more time

tick yet so much of life left to live.
