Introspective Clock Face by Marc Carver

There is a shadow

where time once dripped on

with a certainty

that made it eternal

now that time has gone

only a memory

a faded dark roundness.

It unsettles me

so I leave the room

and never go back

in a way I am the same as that room

the room with the time missing
