Hourglass

Hourglass

don’t know why

it didn’t work

when it took a second

guess that’s the trouble

with first

don’t get it right

will it always be wrong

when the moment’s past

can the clock tick back

or is time a traitor

stuck on the eleventh hour

was it worth a turn-around

strangers walk on by

four years back

all those days without

wonder if it really

would have made a difference

now

at the last stroke

before midnight

TL
