HOURGLASS by Jamiu Ahmed



⌛️ HOUR GLASS 

an allegory of the  earth curvature 
my eyes popped out while tracing 
down  your continental  drift. Just 
like  hour glass, your sand keep
 seeping out of my finger each
 time I tried: to hold you or
 touch you or feel you
with my cold arms
but you're just 
an air. 
tonight I will  
sit and  watch you
unsheathe yourself as 
a sword  from a scabbard
naked as a truth, a bare blade
I will watch your  two eyes turn 
bloods-&-guts, ready to pierce me 
 you're  the  time  I won't run out of
cut me into pieces of poison berry
