STOPWATCH
Hollering at the moments
short as the clock's hands
leaving their prints in our minds
Unscathed in these incidents
That brought us to our knees
Kissing the dust with trembling
and grateful for the escape routes.
The scenes of errors
Rewinding the scars
That cuts deeper than a wound
Breaking our spirits in bits and pieces
Stay or waka(walk away)
Waka( walk away) or stay—
A web of decisions and precisions
That crosses the Is and dots the Ts
This stopwatch keeps
Ticking away from years to days,
And hours to seconds,
For the hares and the slugs,
Switching lanes to reach the finish line,
Before they run out of time.
