Stand on a column
in the gardens
Mounted on a circular base
Cast in metal
you can tell the time
on your
shadowy phase
The revelation
of your light
Is sometimes dappled with grace
Your spirit
still-a-dancing
in this
spherical place
I know you
still TICK TOCK
'Cos the FULL MOON show
makes your
prettiness glow
I know you
still TICK TOCK
when the SUN is on the
other side
of the block
When the gardens are empty
on this little rock
SUNDIAL
in the gardens
Mounted on a circular base
Cast in metal
you can tell the time
on your
shadowy phase
The revelation
of your light
Is sometimes dappled with grace
Your spirit
still-a-dancing
in this
spherical place
I know you
still TICK TOCK
'Cos the FULL MOON show
makes your
prettiness glow
I know you
still TICK TOCK
when the SUN is on the
other side
of the block
When the gardens are empty
on this little rock
SUNDIAL
