rose quartz magazine
when midnight crawls
the longer hand of the clock
works its job done most of
the insertion with its arrow
aiming for the best spot
and the groans get louder
reaches for the peak of the
shorter hand and then dings
clicks its self that succumbs
to the pleasure of the hand
veering clockwise to twelve
singing its ABCs another
loud groan and the clock goes
wild eyes open hands washed
with soap /cherries/ smelled like
fabric stain remover eyebrows
flutter lips curving to smile
the dopamine rushing in
