time by Tane Kim
the minute hand of a clock
how threatening its presence
moving in a sweeping motion
disturbing the calm plains of the glass clock that it hovers silently over
like an unexpected thunderstorm
it marches steadily
towards carefree numbers who forgot of its existence
it erases the smiles from their face
replacing with desperation
when they realize that they can not escape from its wrath
