Time Eternal

There's a clock on an eternal wall

with two hands of the same base;

one determines the first and final hour,

the other snuffs or breathes breath.

As the black arrows go around

in their mechanical way,

their countless power over the moments to prove,

the hands devour moments by minutes

until they achieve the terminal velocity of happening.

Alpha and Omega come together in you.
