the
pendulum
swings dependably
left right
right left
again again
Tick Tock
holding hopes
mirroring heartbeats
defying time
Tick Tock
eyes follow
mesmerized hypnotized
this will last forever
until
it
misses
a
beat
no longer
is is is is is is is is is is is is
anything
certain
we are
lost
dizzy
ears
long
for
steady
rhythm
hearts
long
for
certainty
Tick Tock
tick
tock
