(mostly) short poems on life and love

time zone

August 30, 2021 by Michael Guerin

i catch the clock
on the wall mocking
me with each incessant
tickety-tock

as its second hand
marches ever onward,
step by determined step.
and i do the mental

math to calculate
what time it must be
in that distant city
and imagine her walking

busy cobble-stoned streets
weaving her way
to some shop or cafe
or sitting with friends

and sipping a drink
while i wait ever faithful
for a call or text
that’s sure to never come.
