Mouse and time

35 5 2
                                    

Strolling by comes a mouse,

Dazed by the sky, drizzled at sun's nigh. 

Gazing on a ski chalet,

Its pendulum swings high.

Ponders of a movement so entrancing

Frozen, its legs stopped prancing.

The room was quiet,

Only the bickering water drops,

And its deafening clanking.

A human lets himself enter,

Staring, only the mouse and him.

It was late, and both were sighing.
