This is a fascinating poem, Indira that cleverly combines family and history and the vulnerability of those attachments that seemed to be invincible.

I had the luxury of laying my hands on one of my great grandfather's pendulum clock. Its with my 'peddamma' now. I opened it & took pictures & video of its various mechanical components. Its still working fine. Your poem made me remember this. I'll send you the pics.
