Time

Though I am told you are old immovable,

a large and ominous cloud above my head,

I cannot see you there.


Sometimes I catch glimpses of you

as a bundled winter couple,

gloves about to touch as you turn the corner

often seven strides ahead of me as I walk home


but when I return to by bed,

and can count the tics of my steady heart

I grab you and hold you close

until morning weakens my grip.
