the ticking clock

i prefer the ticking clock
over
a silent one.
i like
the bell, the bird who
juts out
on his perch
and makes a noise
announcing
an hour gone by.
i prefer to hear the second
hand swing.
the hour
counted down.
i want to know how
fast
it's all moving. how
quickly the hour glass
spills
towards empty,
telling us how soon
the end has arrived..
