Read an Excerpt
Hands of the Clock
Beloved, when I'm with you
the hands of the clock tremble.
Your beauty stuns them
and their raison d'etre disappears through a crack in time
like the intoxicated bee whose ecstatic nectar-drinking
made him forget to fly before the lotus blossom closed for the evening.
I too am in No Man’s Land after tasting you.
Like the hands of the clock, your beauty has stopped a thing within me.
I only seem fit to write rogue love poems
and sing tavern songs of intoxication and wonder.
Please give me another job
because, like the clock hands, my own raison d'etre
seems lost in the crack between waking and dream,
that majestic ocean of silence
stretching past infinity—
holding a silly bubble afloat
until it is no more.
