The Mausoleum

Hey old man, rest your head
Time is growing short.
The ticks and tocks of
Your great grandfather’s great grandfather clock
Echo in your eyes.
Tick

Tock
Deep inside,
The cogs and springs
All clog and sing
With dust and grit and time
Tick

Tock
Words and laughter wearing thin
Then turn to precious dust
In the glass below
Tick

Tock
And searching for your pocket watch,
Where is it?
Tick

Tock
The mausoleum of all hope and desire
Tick
