A Clock and a Man (elegy)

An old clock and
An old man
Ticking to the same beat.
Once both youthful,
Time takes its toll on the faces of the clock
The man,
Unable to maintain its beauty
The clock breaks away
and slowly
it
stops
ticking

A new man,
Youthful and beautiful,
Restores the old beauty in the clock
And once it ticks,
The new man
And the clock,
Beat together
