Title: A broken alarm clock

A broken alarm clock


She stirs the tea in the cup,
stirring it against the current of time
trying to return to the past;
stirring the tiny corners of her distraught heart,
the ticker within.
A broken alarm clock
She hears the ticking at the back of her mind.
Tick, the sound of Vexation
slapping ridges of hilltop high hopes.
Tick again, the sound of Frustration
swiftly slamming the door shut.
Tick again, the sound of Exasperation
sighing the cracks off the walls.
Tick, tick, tick.
A broken alarm clock
A ringing silence.
