Time Indoors

Light, peaking through hung linen,
is bent and reflected
by a glass jar, and glows
softly along its curves. 
 
Eternity endures till
—we see nothing of ourselves
in nature; the clocks cease to glow,
they move alone,
and are built with hands
rather than gravity; time
is never felt in time
 
—eternity remains still:
Day dies at the stroke
 
of a plastic switch.
 
A fan with fixed lamp hums
above, and air tumbles
lightly forward.
