waning crescent
early sun
cold
pear shows new growth but no bud swell
that's the clock to watch
in Greece
an Antikythera device
salvaged from the sea floor
predicted eclipse
the moon
that's the clock to watch
children play
listen
filtered through the closed window
laughter
looking out
follow across the blue sky
their voices
keeping
perfect
present
tick
tock
tick
tick
tick.....
