Today the clock ran out of time
“they need to get running” says March
Today the cells ran out of chemical energy
This standing ovation surprises March
If there is a marathon I can give up
It will be this and every year’s march
Not so long ago the calendar had whispered
“tell them I am guarding” like a night watchman’s march
The clock had a kind of prosperity today
“being stuck is my reward” it chimes. March!
's' is such a slight kafiya. Make the kafiya heftier, a fuller, meatier syllable, a bigger sound. Believe me the rhythm will be way stronger then.
