Ghosts
No watchmaker
trusts his watch
not concerned with
any metaphysics
though the chronic
fears of his profession
become the ghosts of his night.
Has the axle moved off its place?
Are the teeth of the wheel inaccurate?
Are the unimportant tiny screws loosened?
Is an abrupt stop of the battery imminent?
While the whole
future
will be nailed
on the second hand.
