My Watch Stopped
Watch stopped at 4:03 A.M.,
The time Saddham
Was being hanged.
Its battery,
Its two year guarantee with two year run,
Which showed no sign of wearing down,
Died at the point his neck disabled;
Where mankind had once been cradled.
I, somewhere secure in Sweden, cuddled up,
Lay breathing in the arms of nature,
sound asleep.
