5 After 10 Poem by Jennifer Rosario

5 After 10



and then it ended
just like that
a clock that
ran
out of time
water stopped rising
liquid refused to boil
until gravity caused me to cave in
my hands still focused on 5after10
but right before
a moment ago
a dim light was still shining
life was still rising
blood begged to boil
until after gravity caused me to cave in
my hands remain useless at 5after10
