The Watch(un)maker
Cracked glass, broken straps,
Overwinding, mainsprings coil tight with rigor mortis,
Base-metal bezel,
Levered,
Drops and spins still,
Back pops open,
Tiny ruby tori glint, cog-centred,
Jewelled fulcra,
Armatures twitch nerve-thin,
Nudging gear-teeth on,
Or retarding,
Who ever thought time a constant?
