Capture the Clock

Capture the clock –
we’ve this time to lose –
speak with the old –
mute now the news

Listen to aged-voices –
life-burr – soft-breaths –
rhetoric worn-down –
senior voice attests

Summon hoar-views –
lifted in grey –
embrace explanation
off soft-mumbled rage

Sit in the chair
in which they tremble –
embrace their time –
do not pass them
dissembled

Look in rheum eyes –
read drowned-years passed –
absorb their life
because this is your last
