Poetry from Lisa Brognano
Progression
The tick of the clock failed to move
her life forward
so she had to climb onto the wall
and adjust the hands
The very act of climbing
landed her foot on the filing
cabinet and her waist against the
calendar
She felt odd in that position
but it had to be done
in order to move her life forward,
the very thing that could move it
seemed so unreal. She should have
asked for help, consulted someone first
only there hadn’t been time,
the day was already there
.
