from hour to hour
And... (Read full poem)

Four o'clock this afternoon,
Fifteen hundred miles away:

So it pounds and hums all day
Four o'clock this afternoon,
Earth will hide them far away:
Best they go to go so soon,
Best for them the grave... (Read full poem)

Consulting summer's clock,
But half the hours remain.

I muffle with a jest.(Read full poem)

Published in 1955.
Read 5529 times on American Poems.
A Clock stopped --
Not the Mantel's --
Geneva's farthest skill
Can't put the puppet bowing --
That just now dangled still --
An awe came on the Trinket!
The Figures hunched, with pain --
Then quivered out of Decimals --
Into Degreeless Noon --
It... (Read full poem)
6. Traveling Dream - written by Marge Piercy
Read 1833 times on American Poems.
I am packing to go to the airport
but somehow I am never packed.
I keep remembering more things
I keep forgetting.

forward ten minutes at a click
instead of one. Each time
I look away, it jumps.
Now... (Read full poem)

RED gold of pools,
Sunset furrows six o’clock,

Take the barns and bulging udders.
Leave the red gold of pools
And sunset furrows... (Read full poem)

Read 1717 times on American Poems.
For Marcia
Because you always have a clock
strapped to your body, it's natural
that I should think of you as the
correct time:
with your long blonde hair at 8:03,
and your pulse-lightning breasts at
11:17, and your rose-meow smile at 5:30,
I... (Read full poem)

Pausing in Front of our Palsied Faces
Time compassion took --
Arks of Reprieve he offered to us --
Ararats... (Read full poem)

The Artifice of strength --

What skilful Pointers move --(Read full poem)

I sit in the twilight dim
At the close of an idle day,
And I list to the soft sweet hymn,
That rises far away,
And dies on the evening air.
Oh, all day long,
They sing their song,
Who toil in the valley there.
But never a song sing I,... (Read full poem)
15. Stress Therapy - written by Bill Knott

Time, time, time, time, the clock
vaccinates us.

Over the fence, the dead settle in

and sea lavender clogs the air
with perfume. Think of yourself.

Awake that night
Wishing that night

With the hiss of spray;
Two winds would meet,
One down one... (Read full poem)

When you go away the wind clicks around to the north
The painters work all day but at sundown the paint falls
Showing the black walls

That has no place in the years
And at night wrapped in the bed of... (Read full poem)

How his wristwatch works
As he shadows me on the street.

Had stopped at five to eleven.
The morning newspapers had no... (Read full poem)

The clock is dressed in drag, I mean it wears
space instead of its own proper aspect
but if it wore time, would it disappear

To hear the children play --

And this of ours must die.(Read full poem)
