Time squozen

sorenbarrett

I squeeze the clock to slow time

Breaking it does not stop shadows passing

A face with hope's grime

three pointing hands each the other surpassing

Metal gears

it is its teeth that give it power

eating years

chewing down seconds and hour

    It's like those Dali melting clocks picture.
    Or that girl 'I'll scweam and scweam until I'm sick'
    Or - it's cold today; my hands are scouqzen!' lol

        Thanks Teddy I appreciate the read and comment. No invented no. This form is used by some in parts of the US as a humorous or ignorant usage of a past tense of squeeze patterned after the irregular form of freeze.

        Powerful work. Sharp metaphor and imagery.
