time please
time is all beyond me 
just out the window there 
time was before me as well 
and time is winging in
so delicate, diaphanous
I'm for the river 
I'm washed off 
towards the all I need to know 
I dedicate my time 
the story is telling me 
that's the arrow 
I'm listening 
to be proven
I'm at the heart of it 
pierced, bleeding
the mouse is on a timer 
treads the turning heart 
I'm the one who fired it off 
I'm listening for the tick-tock 
I'm on the beat, I'm off
the arrow turns 
the calendar runs up a wall 
time will be where I'm behind 
confusions of the dawn dusk light
it's like this
it's a life's work to be in the moment 
where I will take my time 
 
Kit, your time poems really rock! Everytime I try penning a poem about time, it often comes across as very trite & clichéd ... I don't know how you consistently manage to pull off such awesome time poems but you do. You've got it down to a fine art :))
