An Alarm.....

At the wall, 
an alarm clock hangs;
silently in between
Birth and death;
The death ward is  now dirty;
Stink of chemical medicines;
At the wall, 
an alarm clock hangs;
silently in between
Birth and death
The delivery ward is clean;
Stitches and scissors
Embrace together.
At the wall, 
an alarm clock hangs;
silently in between
Birth and death
It's second's leg twisted;
still running fast between
minutes and hours
of the dry day;
the patient stops
breath; eyes frozen;
nose closed; head wrapped;
toes tightened.
The minute needle
  move like rabbits;
hours like tortoise;
days turn to black elephants;
death becomes a
mountain;
unable for burial,
the dead body
is the coffin;
the black chariot
At the wall, 
an alarm clock hangs;
silently in between
Birth and death
