Near the Black Forest
(Erica Mann Jong)
Living in a house
near the Black Forest,
without any clocks,
she's begun
.
to listen to the walls.
Her neighbors have clocks,
not one
but twenty clocks apiece.
.
Sometimes
a claque of clocks
applauds
the passing of each day.
.
Listen to the walls
& wind your watch.
Poor love, poor love,
have they caught you
.
by the pendulum?
Do they think they've
got you stopped?
Have you
.
already gathered how,
living near the Black Forest,
she gets by
on cups of borrowed time?
.
