Time to kill

Written while waiting

I take my bow and arrow
From their hiding place behind my back
Creeping through the grassy plain
Seconds and minutes graze
Moving across the horizon with clock line precision
The hours lounge in the branches of trees
Which frame the grasslands
I know they sense my eyes
Watching their ticking motion

The hours are the great cats of this scene
Surveying their kingdom
Ruling the movement of each subject
Keeping the minutes and seconds
The grazing gazelles
In line

My arrow flies swiftly
Trying to pin these constantly moving figures
In one place
They are ever evasive
Refusing to obey my commands to rest

I long to kill time
The ultimate trophy
