Nighttime fretting
Miss the light of the sun
It used to shine everyday
And now there is a constant gloom
That no measure can put at bay
the clock winds ever down
its gears ground to the core
and with ever day that dawns
its corrodes a little more
the fear of seeing it stop
and silence filling the room
makes me more willing to face the lot
of a never-lifting gloom
helpless and fretful
Henny Penny's twin it appears to be
And though no sky is falling
my sun appears to be
poetry
