Dreaming Clock

In the dark, a dreaming clock beats the seconds
like footsteps without home seeking shelter
ticking through the glass of extinguished streets
and lighting fragile dreams in the alleys’ fold
The homeless shadows dance to time’s rhythm
every figure is a forgotten sail in the gloom
the clock’s dream blurs the boundaries between day and night
and the city breathes, roofless, yet full of spirit
