Broken

Folder: 
Shorties

On the wall
a yellow clicking clock strikes
a midnight hour

 

I know all about yellow clocks

so intricate,
like flesh,
designed for the passage of
time
but time can break a girl of any sort

 

It is Wednesday, I think.

The days run together like
nervous sentences
and they brood along without consciousness

 

Yes, I know all about the broken.

I have no clue what yellow

I have no clue what yellow clocks are but I love this poem anyways! I had to read it outloud the second time through. It sounds even better that way. The pauses I took help to put emphasis on the words putting their meaning into my mind instead of simply putting words together to form sentences.
