Think of time,
The clocking ticks.

Now…Think of Timing –
Harmonious Choice.

The clock,
That clock.
Damned indiscriminate ticks.

The Year, the change –
the spiralling orbit
the cosmic pulse.

“What time is it?” she asks,
“Winter,” I reply, looking at the stars,
thinking of great frosted fields in the morning,
noticing the new nobs of spring so soon
on the skeletal trees.
