In which Tarka pauses for breath.

My eyes are continuously drawn to the clock nowadays,
And my hands are always entwined in each other.
.
I have become impatient.
.
Waiting for something to happen,
Waiting for something to change.

    If nothing was changing, either the clock had not batteries, or it had no hands.

    As always, you manage to say so much with so little. I am definitely a fan of your poetry. Keep it coming!

    again, i think you do short and sweet (well maybe not sweet, but you know what i mean) so well. you captured the moment, made me feel it. or maybe i already felt it, i'm not sure. very well done either way.

    very evocative

    This is concise but conveys so much in its few words. I've known that sense of expectation....waiting for something - anything - to happen. There's a sense of imminence you get...it feels like a scream - barely held in check. Very nicely done, I think.
