Trapped on Dali's Canvas

The hours are blurring together
As time drips from the clock on the wall
Running in streams of lost minutes
Down the walls of this one room apartment
To mix with a puddle of uncried tears
Pouring from the mouth of a tipped glass below
And though the ticking has ceased
With the melting of the second hand
Each droplet hitting the water
Counts the seconds until I too become liquid upon the floor
