Hours

There is my childhood clock
looking back at me
from my bedroom wall.
Felix the cat,
white and black
whose eyes moved side to side,
tail twitching to the ticks of time.

How the hours passed
through childhood,
how those hours
were absorbed by night.
How I watch my own children grow,
their eyes moving side to side,
their tails twitching.
