Chronos Bleeding Poem by Kevin Patrick

Chronos Bleeding

Rating: 5.0


The skull inside the hourglass
Sculpted to a pregnant desert
Drowned its transparent throat

Then the predator evolved gears and springs

clocks with claws, and pendulum jaws
Swings a blade from a headsmen's ball
The second had screams from the last fall

Its last words whirring tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Wrist cuffed to a gilded viper dividing our wounds to schedules Poached by 12 hungry numerals

Our entrails feeding the wheels abattoir
