Only time
Can time shoulder
the weighted ticks
and tocks
of sadness?
as an unspoken sigh
arrows its loss
in measured
wants and pulls,
I let the fingered
point of these
counted and now
lost moments
scribe my sorry shrug.

Tommy,
You pose a question at the outset. And yet, the sigh would indicate that time cannot, as a disinterested concept, but only count the beats of a heart resigned. Wonderful work.
