In 1410
they built a clock
to measure
the inevitable movements
of the universe
of the universe
Decades later they added likenesses
of apostles,
a ghost,
death.
a ghost,
death.
They rebuilt it
after war
and the unceasing
decline of centuries.
are we obsessed with
the passage of time
because we have
so little
of it?
so little
of it?
I really enjoyed this: the lines, the story it told, and that question ends it well.
