β€œShe would fall, ask for help and relearn. And it was not always easy to restart from the unknown.”

Come for the mountainside skiing, stay for the gentle contemplations. This piece by Divya Durgadas in @lit-namjooning.bsky.social has captured my snowy Canadian heart.

My Clock
   

Bare feet on the hour hand
metal edge slicing my soles

I cannot stop time.

Fingers on razored minute hand
pushing hard to rewind the moments

I cannot stop.

Tick tock, tick tock.

His touching me like that 
has already happened

too many times.
A warped cycle.

I cannot  

even slow down the seconds
of innocence lost.

Tick tock, tick tock.
